KVM DG Migration

In the project described here a KVM guest running Oracle ASM and RDBMS standalone Oracle Grid Infrastructure separation environment was cloned to an exact replica KVM guest with a new name using virt-clone tool. Then the cloned KVM guest was prepared for use as an Oracle Dataguard Standby 4K Native Migration host, which means that an Oracle Dataguard Standby will be used to migrate the source database on KVM guest oracle631.vmem.org to a standby database on oracle632.vmem.org using RMAN Active Duplicate procedure to create the standby database. This blog post describes the detailed steps to create the 4K native Oracle standby database for the 512-byte format Oracle primary database and then migrate the source Oracle database from 512-byte legacy storage to all-4K native format storage. This is the same procedure that would be used to do a similar operation to migrate a database on legacy 512-byte format storage to Violin Memory flash storage presented to the server in 4K native format (no 512-emulation).

Create the KVM Guest Clone

The initial clone was created as shown below.

gstanden@vmem1:~$ man virt-clone

gstanden@vmem1:~$ virt-clone --connect qemu:///system --original oracle631 --name oracle632 --file /var/lib/libvirt/images/oracle632-0.img --file /var/lib/libvirt/images/oracle632-1.u00.img

Allocating 'oracle632-0.img' | 30 GB 01:40

Allocating 'oracle632-1.u00.img' | 20 GB 01:30

Clone 'oracle632' created successfully.

Shutdown oracle632 KVM clone and verify that the two servers are fully equivalent and are both able to fully start the Oracle ASM and RDBMS stacks. After oracle632 has shutdown, startup oracle631 and verify that the output of "crsctl stat res -t" also shows fully operatioin Oracle ASM and RDBMS stacks.

If the eth0 interface on the oracle631 KVM source guest was set to DHCP, it may have acquired a different IP address because the KVM target guest oracle632 may have leased the original IP address from DHCP that oracle631 originally had. If so, go into the GUI and edit "Network Connections" from the oracle631 desktop to change eth0 to be a Manual IP address. After making this change using the GUI tools, while connected as "root" to oracle631, do an "ifdown" and an "ifup" to put the new Manual IP address on eth0. Finally, it may be necessary to use srvctl to stop and start the listener if the IP address on eth0 was changed and was referenced in the listener.ora file, as shown below.

However, because oracle631 and oracle632 are identical the cannot currently be brought up at the same time it is now time to shutdown oracle631 now that it has been verified that both boxes can bring up the Oracle ASM and Oracle RDBMS stacks.

Currently, both KVM guests have the same FQDN hostname, namely, "oracle631.vmem.org". To prepare this KVM guest to be FQDN "oracle632.vmem.org" the Oracle Dataguard Migration Standby for oracle631, it will be necessary to do several things as shown below.

Detach the SCST iSCSI Linux SAN oracle651 from the oracle632 KVM clone

Rename the FQDN hostname of oracle632 KVM clone to "oracle632.vmem.org"

Change the IP addresses of all the ethernet interfaces

Update the IP addresses (or FQDN if used) values in $GRID_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora

Update the IP addresses (or FQDN if used) values in $GRID_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

Delete the database from server configuration files ("dbca" GUI tool)

Delete the ASM instance from server configuration files ("deinstall" CLI tool)

Install a new ASM instance with new SCST iSCSI Linux SAN 4K native LUNs of it's own

Use RMAN Active Duplicate to create the Oracle Dataguard Standby Migration instance.

Set the login to the SCST iSCSI Linux SAN to "manual" as shown below so that the Oracle ASM instance and Oracle RDBMS will not have access to the LUNs of the oracle631 source server as shown below.

[root@oracle631 ~]# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2014-08.oracle.asm.storage:luns -p 10.207.40.74 --op update -n node.startup -v manual

[root@oracle631 ~]# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2014-08.oracle.asm.storage:luns -p 10.207.41.74 --op update -n node.startup -v manual

[root@oracle631 ~]

Change the hostname of the oracle632 KVM guest to match its' name as shown below. Npte that the edit of /etc/hosts requires an IP changes as well.

[root@oracle631 ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network

[root@oracle631 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes

HOSTNAME=oracle632.vmem.org

NTPSERVERARGS=iburst

[root@oracle631 ~]# vi /etc/hosts

[root@oracle631 ~]# cat /etc/hosts

127.0.1.1 oracle632

10.207.39.76 oracle632.vmem.org oracle632

[root@oracle631 ~]#

Next, set the IP addresses of the ethernet interfaces to a new set of matched manual values as indicated below. The GUI was used to reset all of the below interfaces to Manual setting to the ".76" IP addresses, which will take effect on reboot as shown below after reboot. Notice that both the linux "grid" and "oracle" user have no processes running. The server has been completely detached from the SCST iSCSI Linux SAN, there are no LUNs listed in /dev/mapper for ASM, and the hostname and IP addresses have been updated to new values.

Next connect to the oracle632 database as "oracle" using the following commands as shown below and start the "dbca" tool.

gstanden@vmem1:~$ ssh -Y -C oracle@10.207.39.76

oracle@10.207.39.76's password:

Last login: Wed Aug 13 14:39:36 2014 from 10.207.39.1

[oracle@oracle632 ~]$ dbca

Choose "Delete Database" --> "sid" (in this case "prod") --> Answer "Yes" to warning about deleting database including datafiles. Note: because ASM is completely disconnected from the oracle632 KVM guest, the dbca delete will not be able to delete anything except configuration files. It is safe to answer "Yes" to this warning. Next it will give the popup warning that the datafiles could not be accessed and that the database is not running. Only the configuration files will be deleted. Answer "OK" to this advice also to delete the service for the database. Now it reports database deletion completed, and answer "No" to the question of whether to perform another operation. The work with dbca is complete.

Next deconfigure the Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c and the Oracle 12c ASM configuration. This is done using the "deinstall" command as the "grid" Linux user owner of the GI and ASM install as shown below.

[grid@oracle632 deinstall]$ ./deinstall

Run the following command as the root user or the administrator on node "oracle632".

/tmp/deinstall2014-08-16_10-06-20PM/perl/bin/perl -I/tmp/deinstall2014-08-16_10-06-20PM/perl/lib -I/tmp/deinstall2014-08-16_10-06-20PM/crs/install /tmp/deinstall2014-08-16_10-06-20PM/crs/install/roothas.pl -force -deconfig -paramfile "/tmp/deinstall2014-08-16_10-06-20PM/response/deinstall_OraGI12Home1.rsp"

Press Enter after you finish running the above commands

<----------------------------------------

Since the command that has to be run as root is a long command that likely spans more than one line, it is recommended to create an executable file "deconfig-gi-asm.sh" and run the command from that file, as root, after verifying that the command is one single line with no returns at the line break, as shown below.

[root@oracle632 oracle-build-scripts]# pwd

/root/oracle-build-scripts

[root@oracle632 oracle-build-scripts]# cat deconfig-gi-asm.sh

[root@oracle632 oracle-build-scripts]# ls -lrt deconfig-gi-asm.sh

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 310 Aug 16 22:15 deconfig-gi-asm.sh

[root@oracle632 oracle-build-scripts]# id

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

[root@oracle632 oracle-build-scripts]#

Go ahead and run the script as root as shown below. The deconfiguration step runs. Some commands fail because these are steps which are designed to shutdown GI and processes, and since they are not currently running, they cannot be stopped, thus the commands fail. The overall result however is reported as success.

[root@oracle632 oracle-build-scripts]# ./deconfig-gi-asm.sh | tee deconfig-gi-asm.log
