racli convert tape_to_cloud

Converts an existing Oracle Secure Backup tape configuration to an equivalent cloud configuration.

Prerequisites

Complete these prerequisites before running the racli convert tape_to_cloud command:

• Generate the cloud key required to access the destination cloud location. See racli add cloud_key.

• Create a cloud user. See racli add cloud_user

• Create an OCI Object Storage bucket as the cloud storage location. Use the racli add cloud_location command to add the bucket to Recovery Appliance.

Syntax

racli convert tape_to_cloud {[--tape_library=SOURCE_TAPE_LIBRARY | --cloud_location=TARGET_CLOUD_LIBRARY]}

Options

--tape_library

Specifies the source Oracle Secure Backup (OSB) SBT library from which the backups are migrated. Ensure that the SBT library exists. For example, an OSB SBT library named ROBOT0.

--cloud_location

Specifies the destination cloud library to migrate the backups. You must preconfigure the destination cloud location, such as a storage bucket named cloud_lib_prod on OCI Object Storage.

Details

The racli convert tape_to_cloud command converts existing Oracle Secure Backup tape configurations, including attribute sets and copy-to-tape templates, to equivalent cloud configurations. The command preserves the backup naming conventions, retention settings, and protection policies, while retaining the original tape configurations on the Recovery Appliance.

Note: If an existing tape template name contains the word TAPE, it is replaced with CLOUD in the converted template name. For example, the template TAPE_TPL_01 is converted and renamed to CLOUD_TPL_01. The original TAPE_TPL_01 template remains unchanged.

Example

This example converts the existing SBT library configuration called ROBOT0 to a cloud location called cloud_lib_prod where you want to migrate the backups.

racli convert tape_to_cloud {[--tape_library=ROBOT0 | --cloud_location=cloud_lib_prod]}
