Hello
We have multiple oracle home bin in our landscape.
When upgrade of build a new SID, we need to go over the orainst , install of patch and opatchs.
this is time consuming. we try to copy the binaries from one SID to the new SID, but fail to run oracle, somewhere in the binaries, oracle link save the SID name...
how can we build a 'golden image' of the oracle binaries and the adopt it to the new SID.

Hi,
The problem is with Libraries still using the old path.
su - ora<sid>
relink all
this should relink your software with the new ORACLE_HOME.
Hope this helps
Thanks

The previous answer is wrong, I regret. It is not allowed to copy Oracle binaries from one system to another because a lot of problems can show up (even if it sometimes works in the first place). Just think about the Oracle inventory or hardcoded paths in libraries. See also note 551542 (2).

Hi,
You are right that the inventory will be wrong but Oracle will oracle without problem
sure you cannot install patches after that. you still need to recopy them form clean installation and relibnk again.
relink all will change hardcoded paths in libraries..
if you want to be clean 100% then installing the software is the better solution.
Thanks
You can do that, however, you need to make sure of the following things:
- ORACLE_HOME is set to the new one
- $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/* directory does not contain anything of the other installation
- your control files are not copied
