Cloning enables you to copy images of Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC software onto the other nodes that have identical hardware and software. You can also use Enterprise Manager Grid Control to perform cloning operations. The preferred method to add nodes and instances to Oracle RAC databases is to use the Oracle cloning procedures that are described in the Oracle Universal Installer and OPatch User's Guide.
