Oracle virtualization process

Overview

The virtualization process is an excerpt and provides various tasks that are required to complete Oracle data virtualization and how to work with Oracle database objects in the Delphix Engine. It does not cover advanced configuration options including Oracle RAC, Linking to Standby, or best practices for performance. 

The following material introduces you to the overall process of deploying the Oracle data virtualization solution. A sequence of high-level steps is presented; each step briefly describes the task and the expected result. Refer to the embedded links for more detailed information.  

  • Review the Oracle Support Matrix Confirm that your combination of Oracle software, host operating system, Delphix Engine version and Oracle connector version are supported for the various environments which will integrate into your Oracle data source deployment. Early validation will reduce unexpected issues later. 

  • Deploy and configure the Delphix Continuous Data Engine.

  • Prepare source and create target environments Prepare the source, create the target hosts, and ensure they are running and reachable. Follow the host requirements to configure the respective environments. The source environment is the Oracle database that the Delphix Continuous Data Engine will ingest from. The target environment will host one or more Oracle instance(s) in which the virtual database copies will be created.

  • Link the Oracle source database Configure and create a dSource which allows the Delphix Continuous Data Engine to capture a copy of the source data. There are many ingestion methods that can offer a variety of methods to capture the data to be virtualized by Delphix. Therefore, we encourage you to identify the ingestion method that best suits your organization and infrastructure policies.
