MIgration from physical servers to Oracle Solaris Containers

We are in process of migrating our Oracle Databases from a physical SUN SPARC servers to Oracle Solaris Container.
Do we need to any extra setting in the Oracle side or server side in a virtualized environment to run Oracle databases?
Any comment will be of help.
Thanks
Abdul

Oracle databases work fine in zones.
Some planing is required to find out if you need to use dedicated cpus or other resource management options.
Use projects to set the appropriate memory settings.
Depending on the versions of the databases the installer may choke and complain about missing entries in /etc/system (like shminfo_shmmax) but they can be safely ignored.

Migration from physical server to zone (solaris 10)

Hello all,
I found an old thread about the subject Migrate Solaris 10 Physical Server to Solaris 10 Zone but i have a question.
Using the flarcreare command, will add to the flar archive all the zpools i have in the server?. Right now we have 14 zpools.
If i execute this command "flarcreate -n "Migration File" > -S -R / -x /flash /flash/Migration_File-`date '+%m-%d-%y'`.flar" will take all the zpools?
This is for migrating from a E25k Server to a M9k Server
The E25k (Physical Server) have this release "Solaris 10 10/08 s10s_u6wos_07b SPARC" and the zone server (M9k) have this release "Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10s_u10wos_17b SPARC" this could be an issue?
Thanks for any help.

flarcreate will only include data from the root pool (typically called rpool). The odds are that this is what you actually want.
Presumably, on a 25k you would have one pool for storing the OS and perhaps home directories, etc. This is probably from some sort of a disk tray. The other pools are likely SAN-attached and are probably quite large (terabytes, perhaps). It is quite likely that instead of creating a multi-terabyte archive, you would instead want an archive of the root pool (10's to 100's of megabytes) and would use SAN features to make the other pools visible to the M9000.
One thing that you need to do that probably isn't obvious from the documentation is that you will need to add dataset resources to the solaris10 zone's configuration to make the other zpools visible in the solaris10 zone. Assuming that these other pools are on a SAN, the zpools are no longer imported on the 25k, and the SAN is configured to allow the M9000 to access the LUNs, you will do something like the following for each zpool:
# zpool import -N -o zoned=on +poolname+
# zonecfg -z +zonename+ "add dataset; set name=+poolname+; end"In the event that you really do need to copy all of the zpools to the M9000, you can do that as well. However, I would recommend doing that using a procedure like the one described at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1448/gbchx.html#gbinz. (zfs send and zfs recv can be used to send incremental streams as well. Thus, you could do the majority of the transfer ahead of time, then do an incremental transfer when you are in your cut-over window.)
If you are going the zfs send | zfs recv route and you want to consolidate the zpools into a single zpool, you can do so, then use dataset aliasing to make the zone still see the data that exists in multiple pools as though nothing changed. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1448/gayov.html#gbbst and http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1460/z.admin.task-11.html#z.admin.task-12.

Is it possible to migrate from Redhat Linux to Oracle Linux on servers in a Data Center that don't have an internet connection? If so, what is the process?
In my case, tunnel.
Have ssh. Can travel.
Can you ssh into the server? Even via multiple hops? Then you can hook that server up to your Internet connection.
Simple example. Your desktop have Internet connectivity via web proxy 10.1.2.3 on port 8080. Your desktop can reach the server via ssh.
From your desktop, ssh into the server and reverse tunnel Internet connectivity
ssh -R 7777:10.1.2.3:8080 root@server
This creates a tunnel on port 7777 on server - and tunnel traffic on that port to your desktop. Arriving at your desktop, that tunneled traffic is send to the web proxy server 10.1.2.3 on port 8080.
On server, set the proxy variable so that yum, wget and other Internet usage/dependent commands know how to reach the Internet. And the proxy on the sever is the tunnel on port 7777. Thus:
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7777
export https_proxy=https://127.0.0.1:7777
Use wget google.com to test tunneled access to the Internet. And Bob is not only your uncle, but gives you slack.

Problems while migrating from mySql DB to oracle DB

Hi All,
I'm using sql developer tool to migrate from MySql DB to oracle DB. I followed the below steps.
1) I've created oracle and mysql connections successfully.
2) I've captured Mysql data and I'm able to see the captured model in ' Captured Models ' window. After that right clicked on the captured model and selected ' Set Data Mapping'. Selected ' apply ' button without changing anything. After that I've right clicked on the captured model and selected ' Convert to Oracle Model ' . It has shown the converting process. After some time it has shown conversion completed successfully.
But converted model is not visible in ' Converted Models ' window.
Can anyone kindly assist on how to migrate from MySql Db to Oracle DB?
Thanks,
Saty.

Hi,
We did mysql to oracle migration some time back and played with workbench tool and many other softwares available.
However our experience was not so good with these tools, each tool had its own limitation and was not able to migrate 100% data. Even the speed of migration was too slow which would have violated our production SLAs.
So after spending a month with these tools we finally decided to create our own scripts for data migration. We used tools like TOAD and SQL Yok to create the DDL for the tables and other DB objects.
For the data migration we downloaded the mysql data in flat files and used sql loader to upload the same data in oracle. Even if this was a time consuming activity but this resulted in 100% data migration with no record getting failed and the time taken for this activity was around 6 Hrs in comparison to time of 24-28 Hrs that the workbench tool took.

Migrate from Ingres DB to Oracle

Hi Friends,
I have to migrate from Ingres DB to Oracle and the application developed by Oracle Forms.How can we do this any process of docs.
From my research,I came to know about Transparent gateways,But Oracle will support for this or not I'm not sure.Any such experience shared
will be really useful.
Regards.

We have two more customers that currently are in the process of upgrading from MS SQL but as far as I know no one has actually performed an upgrade this far.
If you want to upgrade to OIM 9.1 you will have to wait until the upgrade scripts are available (estimated arrival H2 2008 according to the latest info I have).
If you would like to discuss this further send me an email on firstname.lastname@my_company.com (you can get the "variables" from my forum profile)

Migrating from SQL Server to Oracle 8i

Hi all :),
I am trying to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle 9i.
I am using the Migration Workbench.
Everything goes fine during Capturing phase, but while
creating Oracle model the Workbench just hangs at
"Mapping Tablespaces" for over three hours.
(not exactly hangs in the sense that it responds to mouse
events and I can abort the ongoing activity ...)
What should I do ? Should I let it go on and see what
happens.
I follow each and every step as mentioned in the
documentation ... but obviously I am doing something
wrong. Any pointers ???
However ... if I try to migrate to Personal Oracle 8 ...
the migration goes fine from start to end ... just that
the SQL Server triggers aren't successfully migrated.

You may want to start by downloading the Oracle Migration Workbench. That generally does a reasonable job in moving the tables, stored procedures, etc. from SQL Server to Oracle. If your VB code is database agnostic, it should continue to work without any more intervention. Realistically, however, you'll rpobably have to at least tweak a few things that don't work the same way in the old ODBC/ OLE DB provider and the new one.
The hard part of migrations like this is that you may need to revisit some of your architectural decisions if you want Oracle to perform well. There are plenty of things that one does in SQL Server (i.e. frequent commits) to improve performance that have the opposite affect in Oracle. Identifying and fixing these sorts of things tends to be the largest part of a migration like this. Unfortunately, I don't know of a resource that talks addresses all the possible gotchas here.

This needs the user to have access on all_objects view and it will limit the result upto the numbers of objects returned by the all_objects view.

SAP ECC Migration from Physical to ESX

Dear All,
My company is moving from Physical Servers to Virtual Platform (Vmware ESX). We are using 7.2 kernel on RHEL 5.3 64 bit for SAP HCM. My plan is;
1) Shutdown all services
2) Clone Physical Server into VM using vCenter Converter
3) change all DNS Base information and update IP address
4) Restart the services on new server with new IP Address
My take is i need to request new License for new Hardware. Please suggest me what else i need to consider during this process.
Thanks.

Hi,
My take is i need to request new License for new Hardware
Yes you need to request for new license since your hardware is changing.
Apart from the steps mentioned by you,
1) You need to readjust the RFCs
2) Adjust the TMS configuration
3) Adjust the SAPlogon pad entries for endusers.

Migration from SQL7.0 To Oracle & Uni-code Characters

Hi..
I faced one problem in migration from SQL7.0 to Oracle using
Workbench, which is that all Arabic characters is comming
question marks after the migration.
So does Oracle Workbench supports two_byte code for internationl
languages..

Hi Khalil,
Can you please e-mail [email protected] with answers to the
following questions. We will try and investigate this.
What is the structure of the SQL Server table?
What is the structure of the Oracle table?
Also, what character set did you create the Oracle database with?
What codepage was the SQL Server database?
Are the characters appearing as question marks in an application?

Problem with foreign and primary keys migration from SQL Server to Oracle

Hi folks, i'm using SQL Developer to migrate from a SQL Server database to Oracle and i'm stuck with a couple issues:
The worst of them so far is the fact that i can't migrate any of the PKs and FKs. After successfully capturing the SQL Server DB model and converting it to Oracle, when the tool generates the scripts, all ALTER TABLE queries that add the PKs and FKs have their target columns duplicated.
for example: when i'm trying to migrate a simple table that contains an Id (PK) and Name columns, the tool generates the following scripts:
PROMPT Creating Table TestTable...
CREATE TABLE TestTable (
Id NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL,
Name VARCHAR2 NOT NULL
PROMPT Creating Primary Key Constraint PK_TestTable on table TestTable ...
ALTER TABLE TestTable
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TestTable PRIMARY KEY
Id,
Id
ENABLE
As for the FKs, the tool duplicates the columns as well:
ALTER TABLE SomeTable
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_SomeTable_SomeTable2 FOREIGN KEY
SomeTable2Id,
SomeTable2Id
REFERENCES SomeTable2
Id,
Id
ENABLE
Does anyone have a clue on how to solve these issues? I'd be greatly thankful for any answers!

Hi Fernando,
I was unable to replicate this issue. My primary / foreign keys where defined using unique columns.
PROMPT Creating Primary Key Constraint PK_Suppliers on table Suppliers ...
ALTER TABLE Suppliers
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Suppliers PRIMARY KEY
SupplierID
ENABLE
I tried a few things like
capturing twice and renaming both models the same
renaming the converted models
but with no luck.
I think this issue is occuring either at the capture or convert phase.
1) Are you performing the capture online or offline?
2) Can you provide a the entire DDL for one of these tables and its indexes to see if I can replicate?
3) Did the capture or convert fail or have to be redone at any stage ?
I all else fails I would attempt a capture and convert again using a brand new repository (create a new schema in Oracle and associate the migration repository with it).
