1. Backup PSPROD 81 database on Fuji (~45 minutes)
2. Stop the listener on Fuji; rename the listener log to start fresh; restart the listener (while the backup is happening)
3. Alter the sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora on the interim portfolio machines, locally redirecting the tns entries PSPROD and SFIS to PS81TRNG on Bigsky.
   • interim portfolio machines are portfolio3,4 and 6 and are currently in the wesep round robin
   • change the oracle client configuration on the shared /opt/oracle9 so that all machines that use that client are directed to PS81TRNG, which includes clusterw1 and 2 and other machines that may use this client that we may have missed
4. overlay the PS81TRNG database on Bigsky with the fresh backup of PSPROD 81 from Fuji.
5. Stop the listener on Bigsky; rename the listener log to start fresh; restart the listener (while the backup is happening)
6. Alter the sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora on Bigsky, locally redirecting the tns entries PSPROD and SFIS to PS81TRNG on Bigsky.
7. remove the IP addresses of all portfolio machines from the PSPROD 81 database on Fuji in order to prevent any mistaken portfolio contact.
8. remove all IP addresses of all portfolio machines from the PS81TRNG database on Bigsky *except* for the interim portfolio machine IP addresses, in order to prevent any mistaken rogue portfolio contact.
9. login to the CURL.OPS$NOTESR5 database schema, and create database link PSPROD to redirect to PS81TRNG and *not* PSPROD database.
