To clone a database to an alternate host, enter the following command:
smsap clone create -backup-labelbackup_label_name-newsidnew_sid-hosttarget_host-labelclone_label-comment comment_text-profileprofile_name-clonespecfull_path_to_clonespecfileOracle does not let you run two databases with the same SID simultaneously on the same host. Because of this, you must supply a new SID for each clone. However, you can have a database on another host with the same SID.
