Autonomous AI Database (Serverless)

Oracle Autonomous AI Database Service provides you with the capability to set up and modify disaster recovery configurations. It is crucial to establish your recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) for different levels of failures, including both planned and unplanned events.

Follow these steps to set up the different types of disaster recovery.
  • Backup-based disaster recovery:

    Oracle Autonomous AI Database Service on Azure supports backup-based disaster recovery (DR).

  • Autonomous Data Guard:

    Autonomous Data Guard for Oracle Autonomous AI Database Service provides high availability and disaster recovery by maintaining a standby database in a separate availability zone (AZ) or region. When enabled, it ensures that the primary and standby databases remain synchronized with a RPO of 1 minute and it allows automatic failover in the event of an outage or disaster.

Note

If you have selected deployment mode as Secure access from everywhere or Secure access from allowed IPs, you may create up to 1 local peer. If you have selected deployment mode as Managed private virtual network IP only, you may create up to 1 local peer and one cross region peer for every remote paired region.

  • Add Oracle Disaster Recovery

    Complete the following steps to set up a disaster recovery.
    1. From the Azure portal, select Oracle AI Database@Azure.
    2. From the left navigation menu, select Oracle Autonomous AI Database.
    3. Select your Autonomous AI Database that you want to modify.
    4. Expand the Settings section, and then select the Disaster recovery link.This screenshot shows how to perform disaster recovery.
    5. Click the Add button, and then complete the following substeps.

    Switchover

    Switchover is a planned transition from the primary database to its standby. This operation is typically used for maintenance, testing, or proactively shifting the workloads. When using Oracle Autonomous Data Guard, switchover ensures minimal downtime and zero data loss by promoting the standby database to primary status while demoting the original primary to standby. To perform a switchover, your Autonomous AI Database must be part of a configured Disaster Recovery Protection Group.

    Complete the following steps to perform a switchover.
    1. From the Azure portal, select Oracle AI Database@Azure.
    2. From the left navigation menu, select Oracle Autonomous AI Database.
    3. Select your Autonomous AI Database that you are using.
    4. Expand the Settings section, and then select the Disaster recovery link.
    5. Select the Switchover button and from the Swithover database state page, complete the following substeps:
      1. From the dropdown list, select your Peer autonomous database.
      2. Enter switchover into the field to confirm your action.
      3. Select the Submit button to apply the changes.This screenshot shows how to perform a switchover.
