Steps to migrate the non cdb to pdb database

-

 This blogs explains a simple process to migrate your non cdb database to pdb database after 12 upgrade 


We have different methods to perform the migration

  • Export/import 
  • DBMS_PDB
  • GG replication 

  1. shutdown the database 
  2. start the database in read only mode 
  3. Now we need to create a metadata xml file using DBMS_PDB package
BEGIN
  DBMS_PDB.DESCRIBE(pdb_descr_file =>'/u01/app/oracle/backup/ora12c.xml');
END;
/ 

     4. shutdown the non-cdb database  and login to CDB database as sys user 
     5. Let us assume we don't have CDB database , if so we need to create CDB database 
     6. use DBCA -silent installation to create the CDB database 
     

export ORACLE_SID=CDB
sqlplus / as sysdba
CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE PDBORCL USING '/u01/app/oracle/backup/ora12c.xml'
  COPY
  FILE_NAME_CONVERT = ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/', '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb/pdborcl/');

Switch to the PDB container and run the "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/noncdb_to_pdb.sql" script to clean up the new PDB, removing any items that should not be present in a PDB. 

ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER=pdborcl;
@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/noncdb_to_pdb.sql
Startup the PDB and check the open mode.

ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER=pdborcl;
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE OPEN;

SELECT name, open_mode FROM v$pdbs;

NAME                           OPEN_MODE
------------------------------ ----------
pdborcl                           READ WRITE

1 row selected.

The non-CDB has now been converted to a PDB. You should backup the PDB before you start to use


Another method is you use export / import TTS ,make sure you create a new pdb database in the container database

Similarly we use golden gate replication tool to migrate from source to destination

Understanding Terraform

-
 Terraform is a tool used  for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. A Terraform can manage multiple cloud services using a provider plugin  Terraform work flow? Terraform work flow will be comprised of validate -> plan -> apply and finally destroy. what is the important file of terraform which records the actions of Terraform apply? For every Terraform execution the action will be recorded in a file called Terraform state file .  The terraform init command is used to initialise a working directory containing Terraform configuration files. During init, the configuration is searched for module blocks, and the source code for referenced modules is retrieved from the locations given in  their source arguments. The terraform plan command is used to create an execution plan. It will not modify things in infrastructure. The terraform apply command is used to apply the changes required to reach the desired state of the configur...

How to make CRS and ASM not to restart after server reboot

-
I have noticed that server rebooting is taking lot of time on a VM machine for every reboot, so I have decided to auto start of the crs and ASM service During this phase I have noticed an attribute called auto_start when I try to execute the below command crsctl stat res -p This AUTO_START attribute is there for several resources like ora.ASM ,ora.crs,ora.DATA_DG it has got 2 options restore(0) , never(2) and always (1) always (1)  Causes the resource to restart when the node restarts regardless of the resource’s state when the node stopped -restore (0)  Does not start the resource at restart time if it was in an offline state, such as STATE=OFFLINE, TARGET=OFFLINE, when the node stopped. The resource is restored to its state when the node went down. The resource is started only if it was online before and not otherwise. -never (2)  Oracle Clusterware never restarts the resource regardless of the resource’s state when the node is stopped. So I have dec...

How to repair ASM disk header

What is ASM disk header corruption? ASM disk header corruption is a loss or damage to the disk header which contains the metadata essential for the operation and availability of an ASM disk group in Oracle. Imagine that you have an ASM disk corruption in any of the ASM diskgroups that have critical business data and the diskgroup has been configured as "EXTERNAL" redundancy, meaning that if one disk is inaccessible the whole diskgroup will be unavailable. Now what? Is your only option to restore it from backup by recreating the diskgroup or are there any other faster ways to recover the data? Here you need to find out whether it’s a complete loss of data in the ASM disk or is it just a header corruption. Hopefully for you, this is just a header corruption. Because, yes, there is a way out!  Below find the steps to restore from the ASM header corruption. Most of the data in the ASM disk header is of interest to that disk only. However, some information in the ASM disk header ...
