Recoverability

Scalability

Security

• Timely process completion is critical• Must avoid bottleneck

• RPO, RTO, MTD, WRT must all be very low• Recovery plans must be verifiable and repeatable

• Should be adaptive and grow with littlereconfiguration effort

Oracle RAC on VMware vSphere, vSAN & VMware Cloud on AWS

Why RAC• High Availability• Rolling Patch Upgrades• Workload Mobility & Balancing

RAC on vSphere• Greater uptime than RAC

on physical– vSphere HA and RAC are

complimentary technologies

Provisioning• New RAC nodes provisioned

in minutes rather than hours

Manual Deployment of Oracle RAC• Too complicated – lots of moving parts• Co-ordination between DBA and Infrastructure teams• Requires intimate RAC knowledge• Requires DBA involvement for every RAC deployment

Deploy Oracle Stand-Alone Databases and RAC Using the SDDC Instead

Technical Reasons for Oracle DBaaS using Automation



Define Templates of Oracle DB VMs in the Self-service Catalog

Self-service Provisioning from the Catalog

Provisioning clones of Single Instance Databases or RAC• Use Data Masking for Test / Dev / QA

Provides Metering and Reporting

Decommission a DB VM or RAC

Migrating Oracle Workloads from On-premise to VMware Cloudon AWS

To migrate Single Instance Workload and Oracle RAC to VMware Cloud on AWSVMworld 2018 Content: Not for publication or distribution


Using Web Client, right click on the VM ‘Oracle122-OEL74’

Click ‘Migrate’

Select the ‘Compute and Storage’ migration method

Select the Compute Resource Pool and ‘WorkloadDatastore’ datastore for storage

Pick the ‘BCA-L2VPN’ as the Destination network Port group

Click Finish when ready

When complete, VM is now at VMware Cloud on AWS

Same steps are followed when migrating back to On-premise from VMware Cloud on AWS

Oracle Setup – Example



Deploying Extended RAC on Stretched Clusters for VMware Cloud on AWS

• With VMware Cloud on AWS• ESXi hosts reside in an AWS Availability Zone

(AZ) and are protected by vSphere HA

• Stretched Clusters for VMware Cloud on AWS• designed to protect against an AWS AZ failure

• Applications can span multiple AWS AZ’s within a VMware Cloud on AWS cluster

• Extended Oracle RAC provides greater availability than local Oracle RAC

• same advantages as traditional Oracle RAC across data centers

• extremely fast recovery from a site failure• all servers across all sites actively process

transactions as part of a single database clusterVM Anti Affinity rules must be used to ensure RAC VM’s on separate AZ’sVMworld 2018 Content: Not for publication or distribution
