Migrate Exadata Infrastructure

Migrate the Exadata infrastructure using the specified details, including the creation of the infrastructure, VM cluster(s), and database dbHome(s).

Ensure that the input templates for the Infrastructure, VM cluster(s) and database(s) have been generated and modified according to the target platform requirements.

The migrate_infra command supports the following options:

Syntax

exacloudmigration migrate_infra [-ahVd] -i  -c  [-a|-l ] [-p ] [--dry-run]

exacloudmigration migrate_infra Commands

CommandDescription
-a, --allMigrates all VM clusters in the newly created target infrastructure from the source infrastructure.
-i, --inputFileInfraSpecifies the infrastructure input file name with the complete path.
-c, --inputFileVmClusterSpecifies the VM cluster input file name with the complete path.
-l, --vmClusterNames

Specifies a comma-delimited list of VM cluster names to migrate.

Examples:

  • To migrate a VM cluster: -l vmcluster1
  • To migrate multiple VM clusters: -l vmcluster1,vmcluster2,vmcluster3
-d, --includeDbInputsSpecifies to include database inputs (need database_inputs inside each vm_cluster folder).
-p, --includePatches

Specifies to consider One-off patches file. This option is applicable only when the source is ExaDB-C@C.

Options:

  • -p yes: Specify to consider patches_file inside the input template vmcluster_ directory.
  • -p nopatch: Specify to create all target database homes with the source home base RU.
--dry-runPerforms dry run without creating the infrastructure.
-h, --helpDisplays help information about the command and its options.
-V, --versionDisplays the version of the utility.

Examples:

  • To validate the Infrastructure, VM cluster and database input template files and perform a --dry-run:

    /home/opc>./exacloudmigration migrate_infra -a -i inputs/infra_phxref/infrastructure_inputs -c inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs --dry-run
  • To migrate the infrastructure, all VM clusters, and database dbhome(s) in the source (ExaDB-D) to the target (ExaDB-D), following successful validation and dry run:

    /home/opc>./exacloudmigration migrate_infra -a -i inputs/infra_phxref/infrastructure_inputs -c inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs
  • To migrate the infrastructure, all VM clusters, and the selected database dbhome(s) in the source (ExaDB-D) to the target (ExaDB-D) by specifying create=yes in database input file, following successful validation and dry run:

    /home/opc>./exacloudmigration migrate_infra -a -i inputs/infra_phxref/infrastructure_inputs -c inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs -d
  • To migrate the infrastructure, a comma-delimited list of VM clusters, and the corresponding database dbhome(s) in the source (ExaDB-D) to the target (ExaDB-D), following successful validation and dry run:

    /home/opc>./exacloudmigration migrate_infra -i inputs/infra_phxref/infrastructure_inputs -c inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs -l vmcluster1,vmcluster2
  • To migrate the infrastructure, all VM clusters, and database dbhome(s) in the source (ExaDB-C@C) to the target (ExaDB-D), following successful validation and dry run:
    /home/opc>./exacloudmigration migrate_infra -a -i inputs/infra_phxref/infrastructure_inputs -c inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs -p yes

    Generate the patches_file using the Generate patches file step, and copy it to the input template directory (vmcluster_<source_vmcluster_name>) on the client machine for each VM cluster.

  • To migrate the infrastructure, a comma-delimited list of VM clusters, and the corresponding database dbhome(s) in the source (ExaDB-C@C) to the target (ExaDB-D), following successful validation and dry run:
    /home/opc>./exacloudmigration migrate_infra -i inputs/infra_phxref/infrastructure_inputs -c inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs -l vmcluster1,vmcluster2 -p yes

    Generate the patches_file using the Generate patches file step, and copy it to the input template directory (vmcluster_<source_vmcluster_name>) on the client machine for each VM cluster.

  • To migrate the infrastructure, all VM clusters and database dbhome(s) in the source (ExaDB-C@C) to the target (ExaDB-D) without the patch file, following successful validation and dry run:

    /home/opc>./exacloudmigration migrate_infra -a -i inputs/infra_phxref/infrastructure_inputs -c inputs/infra_phxref/cloudvmcluster_inputs -p nopatch

Note:

Along with migrating the infrastructure, VM cluster(s), and database dbHome(s), associated metadata is also replicated to the target environment.
