Description
This command moves an Oracle instance from one or more clients to a single destination client.
-
If the specified instance is found on any of the source clients, then it is deconfigured on the source client and a new instance with the same name appears on the destination client.
-
If the instance is not found on any of the source clients, or, it is found on two or more source clients, then the command fails and returns an appropriate error message. Use the -sc option multiple times for specifying more than one source client from the command line.
The qoperation move command allows you to optimize the client configuration to run a single backup job for multiple instances on a client or cluster node using RMAN scripts. This eliminates the need to configure each database separately for backups on clusters. You can also use this command to move data and backup history from an instance that has failed over on a cluster from one client to another with the same operating system. Nevertheless, RMAN log cannot be moved using this command to the destination client.
Upon successful completion, qoperation move displays the message "Move operation successful" on the command prompt. In case of an error, an error code and description are displayed as: "move: Error errorcode: errordescription"
