我们可以从源环境中直接把ORACLE_HOME给打个包，在目标环境解压即可。这个时候尽管你去尝试sqlplus,exp这些工具也能用，但是还是存在很大的风险，毕竟别把它当成绿色版的。出了问题谁都兜不住。
11g的环境中，可以使用下面的方式来安装。
到达$ORACLE_HOME/clone目录下，运行下面的脚本即可。输入的参数为ORACLE_HOME,还有ORACLE_HOME的名字，这个可以自己定义。
$ perl clone.pl ORACLE_BASE=/U01/app/oracle ORACLE_HOME=/U01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1 ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OraDb10g_home1
./runInstaller -clone -waitForCompletion "ORACLE_BASE=/U01/app/oracle" "ORACLE_HOME=/U01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1" "ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OraDb10g_home1" -silent -noConfig -nowait

然后根据提示使用root运行两个脚本即可。
10g的数据库软件就得换个方式，
$ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -clone -silent -ignorePreReq ORACLE_HOME="$ORACLE_HOME" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraDb10g_home1"

然后根据提示运行一个脚本。
如果拿11g的ORACLE_HOME采用10g的思路，报出的错误都让人摸不着头脑，因为ORACLE_BASE早就指定了。
$ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -clone -silent -ignorePreReq ORACLE_HOME="$ORACLE_HOME" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraDb10g_home1"

不过对于这种克隆方式还是需要简单验证一下，如果出现了意料之外的问题就是弄巧成拙了。
