There is a known issue when you try to perform an off-host clone for RAC and the off-host node is not part of the CVM cluster. You may receive a similar error message:
Cannot open file /etc/vx/vxdba/rac11g1/.DB_NAME
(No such file or directory).
SFORA vxreptadm ERROR V-81-8847 Cannot get filename from sid
for 'rac11g1', rc=-1.
SFORA vxreptadm ERROR V-81-6550 Could not connect to repository
database.
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-582 Disk group SNAP_rac11dg1: No such disk
group SFORA
vxsnapadm ERROR V-81-5623 Could not get CVM information for
SNAP_rac11dg1.
SFORA dbed_vmclonedb ERROR V-81-5578 Import SNAP_rac11dg1 failed.
Workaround: Currently there is no workaound for this known issue. However, if the off-host node is part of the CVM cluster, then off-host clone for RAC works fine.
Also the dbed_vmclonedb command does not support LOCAL_LISTENER and REMOTE_LISTENER in the init.ora parameter file of the primary database.
