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.
    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 myPDB
    mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 source 'myPDB'> disable

        SOURCE_DISABLE job for "myPDB" completed successfully.
    mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 source 'myPDB'>
    
  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> /sourceconfig
    mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 sourceconfig> select myPDB

        SOURCE_CONFIG_UPDATE job for "myPDB" completed successfully.

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
        SOURCE_DISABLE job started for "racPDB".
        Disabling virtual database "racPDB".
        Unexporting storage containers.
        Virtual database "racPDB" disabled.
        SOURCE_DISABLE job for "racPDB" completed successfully.
    mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 source 'racPDB'>
    
  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
    mwdlpx-6.0.7.0.dcol1 sourceconfig 'racPDB'> update

        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.
