Homogeneous System Copy with the Database Manager CLI 

You can generate a homogeneous system copy of your database instance by using the following DBM commands:

Creating a backup medium for complete data backups in the original instance:

dbmcli -d TST -u dbm,dbm medium_put databasecopy /usr/sapdb/dbcopy FILE DATA 0 0 NO

Creating a complete data backup of the original instance:

dbmcli -d TST -u dbm,dbm -uUTL -c backup_start databasecopy

Installing the target instance:

dbmcli -s –R <dependent_path> db_create TST1 dbm,dbm

Copying and modifying database parameters from the original instance:

dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm -uSRV -c recover_config databasecopy
dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm
  > param_startsession
  > param_put RUNDIRECTORY <newrundirectory>
  > param_put DIAG_HISTORY_PATH <newdiaghistorypath>
  > param_checkall
  > param_commitsession

Configuring data volumes of the target instance:

dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm param_addvolume DATA <newdatavolume> <datatype> <datasize>
dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm param_addvolume LOG <newlogvolume> <logtype> <logsize>

Creating the backup medium in the target instance:

dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm medium_put databasecopy /usr/sapdb/dbcopy FILE DATA 0 0 NO

Switching the target instance to the operational state ADMIN:

dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm db_admin

Initializing the target instance:

dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm util_execute INIT CONFIG

Importing the data backup of the original instance into the target instance:

dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm -uUTL -c recover_start databasecopy

Switching the target instance to the operational state ONLINE:

dbmcli -d TST1 -u dbm,dbm db_online

Loading the system tables, assigning passwords for SYSDBA and DOMAIN users:

dbmcli –d TST1 –u dbm,dbm load_systab –u <sysdba>,<password> -ud <password2>
