How to Migrate vCDB + vPDB to a new host

Delphix versions listed above does not support migrating a vPDB provisioned to a vCDB to a new host using the GUI. Attempts to perform this migration will fail with the error:

clipboard_e15cf80755c8a972091b34046bc1cd28f.png

To perform this task the CLI must be used.

To complete vCDB + vPDB non-RAC migration using CLI

Complete the following procedure to migrate a vCDB + vPDB to a new host.

tip

Tip:

In the example below, the vPDB "myPDB" with vCDB "myCDB" is migrated from host mwrh74-ora19000-src to host mwrh77-ora19000-src.

 

  1. Login to CLI via ssh. 
    ~ ssh admin@mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1
Warning: Permanently added 'mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1,10.43.66.20' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.

  4. Change the environment user and repository ( ORACLE_HOME ) for the vCDB to the appropriate user from the new host. This must match the settings in step 3.

To complete vCDB + vPDB RAC migration using CLI

Complete the following procedure to migrate a vCDB + vPDB to a new RAC host.

tip

Tip:

In the example below, the vPDB "racPDB" with vCDB "racCDB" is migrated from cluster "clust1" to cluster "clust2". The process is essentially the same as Non-RAC, with the extra step to update instance node configuration.

 

  1. Login to CLI via ssh. 
    ~ ssh admin@mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1
Warning: Permanently added 'mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1,10.43.66.20' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1>
  2. Disable the vPDB. 
    mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1> /source
mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 source> select racPDB
mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 source 'racPDB'> disable
mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 source 'racPDB' disable *> commit
    Dispatched job JOB-74

    Unexporting storage containers.
    Virtual database "racPDB" disabled.
    SOURCE_DISABLE job for "racPDB" completed successfully.

  3. Change the environment user and repository ( ORACLE_HOME ) for the vPDB to the appropriate user from the new host. 
    mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 source 'racPDB'> /sourceconfig/
mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 sourceconfig> select racPDB

    Dispatched job JOB-76
    SOURCE_CONFIG_UPDATE job started for "racPDB".
    SOURCE_CONFIG_UPDATE job for "racPDB" completed successfully.
  4. Change the environment user and repository ( ORACLE_HOME ) for the vCDB to the appropriate user from the new host. This must match the settings in step 3. The instance configuration must also be configured to the new hosts. 
    mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 sourceconfig 'racPDB'> /sourceconfig/
