You can transform an existing Database I/O Domain into a Database Zone I/O Domain. You might perform this action if you created a Database Domain and decide that rather than installing and running Oracle Database software in the global zone, you want to create non-global Database Zones, and install and run Oracle Database software in the Database Zones.
Caution - Transforming a Database I/O Domain to a Database Zone I/O Domain should only be performed if there is no Oracle Database software installed the global zone. The process of transforming the I/O Domain removes the RAC association of the former Database Domain, and also removes the Exadata VIP (Client) IP Address. |
The transformation removes the RAC association, as well as the Exadata VIP address from the I/O Domains. After you click Yes, the original Database I/O Domain cannot be restored.
