Symptoms

When trying to add a task to create a clone using the SMU Command-Line Interface you receive one of the following errors:

unknown application

invalid property

For example:

smu> tasks add clone -o method=thin -o port=1253 orcl-db jan9bk orcl-db-clone

invalid property -- 'port'

smu> tasks add clone -o method=thin orcl-db jan9bk orcl-db-clone

unknown application -- orcl-db-clone

Changes

Cause

A two step process is required to create a clone using the command line interface of SMU:

First, create a database account specifying the database info.
Second, create the task to add the clone.

Solution

1. Create a database account.

smu> accounts add -t APPLICATION -p ORACLE_DATABASE -o oracle_sid=<ORACLE_SID> -o db_configuration=<DB Type>-o port=<port> -o host=<HOST ACCOUNT> -o storage=<STORAGE ACCOUNT> -o password=<SYS password> <db clone name>

For example: oracle_sid = orcl, DB type = RAC, host account = root03, storage account = root-storadm, sys password = manager1!, database clone name = orcl-db-clone

smu> accounts add -t APPLICATION -p ORACLE_DATABASE -o oracle_sid=orcl -o db_configuration=RAC -o port=1523 -host=root03 -o storage=root-storadm -o password=manager1! orcl-db-clone

2. Add task.

smu> tasks add clone -o method=<method> <Database Application> <Backup name> <db clone name>

For example: method = thin, Database Application = orcl-db, Backup = jan9bk, db clone name = orcl-db-clone

smu> tasks add clone -o method=thin orcl-db jan9bk orcl-db-clone

Submit task clone orcl-db:jan9bk to orcldb-clone? (yes/no) yes

Note: See the Oracle Snap Management Utility for Oracle Database v1.3.0 User Guide for a complete list of task command options for cloning.
