The cloning script runs multiple tools, each of which may generate its own log files. After the clone.pl script finishes running, you can view log files to obtain more information about the cloning process.
The following log files that are generated during cloning are the key log files of interest for diagnostic purposes:
Central_Inventory/logs/cloneActionstimestamp.log
Contains a detailed log of the actions that occur during the Oracle Universal Installer part of the cloning.
Central_Inventory/logs/oraInstalltimestamp.err
Contains information about errors that occur when Oracle Universal Installer is running.
Central_Inventory/logs/oraInstalltimestamp.out
Contains other miscellaneous messages generated by Oracle Universal Installer.
$ORACLE_HOME/clone/logs/clonetimestamp.log
Contains a detailed log of the actions that occur before cloning and during the cloning operations.
$ORACLE_HOME/clone/logs/errortimestamp.log
Contains information about errors that occur before cloning and during cloning operations.
