1 Cold Cloning
1> Shutdown production database.
SQL> shut immediate

2> Copy the datafile to cold backup location.

$ cp *.dbf /u02/app/cold

3> Create the new server or directory structure.

$ mkdir alpha1
$ cd alpha1
$ mkdir admin oradata
$ cd admin
$ mkdir diag arch scripts

4> Start the production database.

SQL> startup;

5> Create the parameter file from clone database (alpha1)
