  • 1.  dxtoolkit for migrating DB to different Host Environment

    Posted 09-24-2020 06:20:00 AM
    Hi,

    Is there any dxtoolkit available to migrate a DB from existing Host Environment to another Host Environment?

    Please suggest.

    Thanks,
    Sushil

    Hi Sushil

    You could provision a VDB to new host using the dx_provision_vdb command.

    Regards

    Hi Andrew,

    My requirement is different, I need an existing DB to migrate from one host to another host. Its not about new provision.

    Hi Sushil,

    I think that the "dx_upgrade_db" command is what you want (in spite of the confusing name). 

    Sometimes also referred to as "migration" see also a CLI cookbook example here (for Oracle).

    Also, KBA3809 Migrating VDB Using an API Call for API related info.

    Best Regards,

    Scott.

    Hi Sushil,

    If you are talking about migrating/moving SourceDB from one host to another then maybe Delphix' V2P (virtual to physical) capability might be useful for you. If you are thinking about moving a virtual database from one host to another then as Scott said DB upgrade might be a solution. All of these commands can be called over API and almost all of them are also put into dx toolkit.

    Hi Rahim/Scott,

    Yes, I am looking for VDB migration from one host to another host using dxtoolkit.

    I have gone through  dx_upgrade_db details. It appears there is option to migrate/upgrade from one Oracle Home to another Oracle Home, But there is no option mentioned to change from one host to another host.
    Obviously this can be achieved using CLI commands which Scott has mentioned, But I was checking if same feature is available to manage through dxtoolkit?
    dxtoolkit makes it pretty simple, but it looks like it is not available. If someone can have a look and have this included, will be great.

    Thanks,
    Sushil

    Hi Sushil,

    Is the 2nd host also added to Delphix as an environment?

    Rahim, it is not in dxToolkit today.  We've created an RFE for this feature.

    For now, please leverage the CLI or API.  Check the end of the docs ("cookbooks") for ways to automate this through bash, curl, etc.
