Session AbstractCON8122

Are database refresh challenges causing you to miss projects deadlines? Is your storage cost for dev/test environments spiraling out of control? In this session, you will learn how the Snap Clone feature of Oracle Cloud Management Pack for Oracle Database

• Can refresh production databases after masking and subsetting

• Can enable instant cloning of large databases (TBs) while saving more than 90 percent on storage costs

• Fits perfectly with your existing investments in storage, servers, and engineered systems

• Is being used by other customers for large-scale environments

Supported Cloning Options

Software Solution [Vendor Agnostic]

Hardware Solution [Vendor Specific]

Full Clones Snap (Thin) Clones

NAS SAN

Database Native [Storage Agnostic]

RMAN Restore

RMAN Duplicate

Data Pump

• Leverage your existing investments• Cater to both functional and stress testing needs• Maximize for best performance

Use Snap Clone whenever you need >1 clones!


Snap Clone using Solaris File System (ZFS)

• Uses a single stock Solaris 11.1+ image – physical or virtual [and NOT the Sun ZS3 Appliance ]

• Supports any storage type – NAS or SAN

• For SAN, mount LUNs as raw disk and format with ZFS filesystem

• Does NOT require the snapshot/clone licenses from the storage vendor, these features are available for free

• Additional features include compression, de-duplication, IO caching, etc

• HA has to be handled externally either via Solaris Clusters, or by using HA features of the underlying hypervisor

• Ability to create thin databases from RMAN image copies

• Uses NFS v3 client embedded in database

• Supported configurations

– Single instance databases

– Note: Only file system support for this setup (No ASM)

• Supported Versions: 11.2.0.3+, 12.1

• Advantages

– Easy to setup

– No special storage software needed

– Works on all platforms

– Time efficient: Instantaneous cloning

– Space efficient: Create multiple clones based on one backup

– Uses dNFS to improve performance, high availability, and scalability of NFS storage

CloneDB using DNFS


Snap Clone on ASM + EMC Storage

• Ability to create ‘live’ thin clones of databases on ASM

• Live Clone: NOT snapshot based, but a live clone of DB

• Clone can be within the same or on a different cluster

• EMC VMAX (with Time Finder VPSnap) and VNX storage appliances

• Supported configurations: SI and RAC

• Supported Versions: DB = 10.2.0.5 or higher; GI = 11.2 and higher

Data MovementActivity Breakdown

• Prod DB – Identify production database for cloning

• Backups – Take regular backups [RMAN, datapump exports, etc]

• Mask / Subset – Mask sensitive data. Optionally, subset to reduce storage footprint

• Test Master – Sanitized copy of production data for use in dev / test environments OR a Data Guard Standby database

• Clones – Full clones for performance / stress testing; snap clones for functional testing

• Refresh - Keep in sync with data changes in production

18


DB Clone and Refresh – Admin Flow

• Enable direct clones from production databases

• Provide automation to refresh the clone with data changes in production

• Works for storage snapshots, RMAN backups, data pump exports, etc

• Include masking & subsetting

• Works with patched or upgraded binary

• If using clone as test master, allow self service users to refresh existing clones with new data

• Reduce administrative overhead
