1. Pre-Migration Assessment
Analyze Source Environment:
Check database size, version (19c), configurations, and OS (Solaris/Linux).
Command: SELECT * FROM v$version;
Evaluate network bandwidth, storage requirements, and compatibility.
Use tools like iperf for network bandwidth testing.
Review OCI and ExaCS Requirements:
Confirm the target ExaCS configuration meets the database needs.
Ensure licensing and compliance requirements are in place.
2. Plan the Migration Strategy
Select a Migration Method:
Data Pump Export/Import: Suitable for moderate data volumes.
Refer to Oracle Data Pump Documentation.
RMAN Cross-Platform Transportable Tablespaces: For large databases and minimal downtime.
Refer to RMAN Transportable Tablespaces.
ZDM (Zero Downtime Migration): Best for near-zero downtime migrations.
Refer to Zero Downtime Migration Guide.
Prepare Timelines: Plan the migration window based on the business impact and downtime tolerance.
3. Set Up OCI ExaCS Environment
Provision Exadata Infrastructure:
Set up Exadata Cloud@Customer within OCI.
Use the OCI Console or CLI to provision: oci db system create --config-file.
Configure networking, storage, and required Oracle services (e.g., Oracle Data Guard).
Validate ExaCS Configuration:
Ensure database nodes, ASM disk groups, and storage layout align with source requirements.
Command: asmcmd lsdg
4. Prepare the Source Database
Update Statistics and Gather System Details:
Run DBMS_STATS to gather schema statistics.
Command: EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_database_stats;
Validate compatibility by executing DBMS_FEATURES_ADMIN.
Command: SELECT * FROM DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS;
Create Backup:
Use RMAN to take a full database backup and store it in a secure location.
Command: RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
5. Pre-Check Commands
Verify Database Version:
SELECT * FROM v$version;
Check Tablespace Usage:
SELECT tablespace_name, used_space, free_space FROM dba_tablespace_usage_metrics;
Check Database Compatibility:
SELECT * FROM v$database_compatibility;
Ensure Log Mode is ARCHIVELOG:
SELECT log_mode FROM v$database;
6. Data Transfer Preparation
Network Configuration:
Set up a secure VPN or FastConnect to optimize data transfer between the source environment and OCI.
Use openssl speed or iperf for network testing.
Install Oracle Database Software on ExaCS:
Ensure the same Oracle Database version (19c) is installed and patched.
Command: ./runInstaller or use the OCI Console.
7. Migration Execution
Method 1: Data Pump Export/Import:
Export Data:
expdp system/password@source_db schemas=SCHEMA_NAME directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=export_file.dmp logfile=export_log.log
Transfer Dump Files:
scp export_file.dmp user@target:/path/to/exacs/dir
Import Data:
impdp system/password@target_db schemas=SCHEMA_NAME directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=export_file.dmp logfile=import_log.log
Method 2: RMAN Cross-Platform Transportable Tablespaces:
Convert Tablespaces:
RMAN> CONVERT TABLESPACE tablespace_name TO PLATFORM 'Oracle Exadata' FORMAT '/path/to/output_dir';
Transport Data:
rman target / auxiliary sys/password@exacs_db RMAN> TRANSPORT TABLESPACE tablespace_name;
Method 3: ZDM:
Configure ZDM using the command:
zdmcli migrate database -s source_db -t exacs_target_db -mode ONLINE
8. Post-Migration Steps
Post-Check Commands:
Verify Database Status:
SELECT status FROM v$instance;
Check Data Integrity:
SELECT owner, table_name FROM dba_tables WHERE num_rows = 0;
Update Statistics:
EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_database_stats;
Performance Tuning:
Update statistics and optimize parameters to align with ExaCS performance capabilities.
Command: EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_schema_stats(ownname => 'SCHEMA_NAME', options => 'GATHER AUTO');
Test Applications:
Run application tests to validate functional and performance aspects.
9. Handling Post-Migration Issues
Common Issues and Resolutions:
Connectivity Problems: Verify network settings and Oracle listener configuration.
lsnrctl status
Performance Degradation: Run AWR reports and adjust initialization parameters.
@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql
Data Inconsistencies: Revalidate tables and rerun data checks.
ANALYZE TABLE schema.table_name VALIDATE STRUCTURE CASCADE;
Rollback Plan:
Ensure backup is available for restoring if required:
rman target / RESTORE DATABASE;
10. Go-Live and Monitoring
Switch to Production:
Implement a rollback strategy in case of issues.
Cut over to the migrated database during the planned downtime.
Monitor and Optimize:
Use OCI monitoring tools and AWR reports for continuous performance tuning.
Reference OCI Monitoring Guide.
11. Post-Migration Maintenance
Backup Strategy:
Set up automated backup policies in OCI.
Command: oci db backup create --config-file
Security Configuration:
Enable Oracle Data Safe and other security best practices.
Refer to Oracle Data Safe.
Documentation:
Update all operational documents and procedures.
By following these steps, you can ensure a seamless migration of Oracle Database 19c from Solaris or Linux environments to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure on Exadata Cloud@Customer.
