system copy

[Former Member]

i have just done a copy of production, copied the sap software accross and then used brtools to do a db restore on solaris and oracle.

i have gone in to db13 on my new copied test system and deleted the backups from db13 and it has deleted them out of my live production system aswell.

what is causing the conflict???

remote copy of /sapmnt and of /usr/sap/<SID>

Hi Mike,

Check in DB12 - Last successfull backup or Recovery report... it must be still be pointing to the old hostname

I have always done system copies or clones to freshly installed systems or using Homogeneos system copy and follow the post installation steps.

the host names are different on the boxes, so where would i change the host name and why???

also what are the post activities for a system copy, i have done many of these and not encountered this before

Hi Mike,

How did you coy the SAP Software across?... did you do a new installation?

Hello Mike ,

Please complete the post installation activity on new system.

Hi Mike,

seems like you didn't change the hostname, so the new system is still pointing to the old host... you need to make sure when you make a system copy that the host and the <sid> are different, also check the rfc's, logical systems, etc....

All that info is in the homogeneous system copy guide.
