I have searched high and low for what I thought would be a simple YES/No question. Can anyone tell me:
Is it possible to take a database [QA1] in an ASM diskgroup [+DGROUP1] and use DUPLICATE DATABASE to clone a new database [QA2] in the same disk group?
Thanks,
John

Excellent! And thank you very much for the direct YES/NO answer (that can be amazingly hard to get out of people).
So I guess you can see my next question coming: Do you know of any document/site/etc that either details this or provides a complete example?
There are tons of posts and book examples about SFS --> ASM, DOSKGROUP1 --> DISKGROUP2, SERVER1 -->SERVER2, and a ton of other scenarios - but I am beginning to think I am the only person in the country that wants to clone within the same ASM diskgroup. Even the Oracle manuals seem to purposely avoid this scenario.

I guess you should search on the FORMAT parameter of RMAN.
if you set the format for backup then it will copy your backup to single diskgroup.
some thing like this
RMAN> backup as copy database format '+DG1';
Starting backup at 26-MAY-05
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=160 devtype=DISK

Thanks for the reply, but I am not having a problem with backing up the database.
The problem is with cloning it (using BACKUP DUPLICATE) into the same diskgroup. I can't find this addressed anywhere, and when I try to clone to the auxillary db I don't know if there is anything that ASM might do that would result in an overwrite of files in the target db.

Is it neceassry to the same Disk Group?
Any logic beahind this?
I guess if we take backup to the same DISKGROUP it means we can use it with DUPLICATE command as well
But not sure.
