To keep the installed Oracle Grid Infrastructure home as a working home, make a full copy of the source Oracle Grid Infrastructure home for cloning.
Tip:
When creating the copy, a best practice is to include the release number in the name of the file.
Use one of the following methods to create a compressed copy of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home, where Grid_home is the original Oracle Grid Infrastructure home on the original node with all files included, and copy_path is the directory path to the copied Oracle Grid Infrastructure home with unnecessary files deleted.
