Transform a Database Domain Into a Database Zone Domain

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

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.


  1. Access the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant.

    See Log In to the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant.

  2. In the navigation panel, select I/O Domains.
  3. Select the check box next to the Database Domain you want to transform and click Edit.
  4. Click Transform to change the domain you selected into a Database Zone Domain.

  5. Click Yes.

    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.
