HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Oracle - Manual (Page 211)

REASON
Trying to clone a database using the specific Virtual Copy fails as it only contains datafiles. A
Virtual Copy created with the datafile type occurs when the database is open and in archive log
mode. Archive log files are required to create a consistent point-in-time database image.
SOLUTION
Use online/offline Virtual Copies to clone a database. Manually copy over all necessary archive
log files. Modify the init.ora file on the backup server. Use associated saved files in the backup
repository to manually clone the database.
