Ansible Database Migration Tool (ADMT) utility has been developed with an objective to provide a quick and easy way to move Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic (OCI-C) databases to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) without setting up DataGuard. Tool has been tested also with AWS, where database has been manually installed on top of EC2 compute instances (no AWS RDS). It could be used when source and target sides are disconnected in terms of direct peering between OCI-C's availability domains and OCI's tenancy. As a medium for data transport utility will use Object Storage Service (OSS) which is cloud-based service available both in OCI-C and OCI. On the source database would be backed up into OSS with the RMAN. Then on the target side RMAN will help to instantiate database from the backup by proper restore/recovery procedure. For minimal downtime incremental level 0 + number of level 1 backups will be used. Tool has been written in Ansible, with the usage of dedicated modules in Python (/modules).
ADMT supports such database releases as:
- Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2)
- Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1)
- Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2)
- Oracle Database 18c (18.3)
ADMT supports such architectures as:
- Oracle Database Single-Instance
- Oracle Database Real Application Clusters (RAC)
ADMT will help to execute migration for such use-cases:
- From AWS SI database installed on top of EC2 compute
- From OCI-C SI/RAC DBCS to OCI SI/RAC DBaaS/DBSystem
- From OCI-C RAC DBCS to OCI ExaCS
- From OCI-C ExaCS to OCI ExaCS (currently limited to 2-nodes configuration)
ADMT could work with this Object Store Services (OSS) as follows:
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage
In OCI create skeleton database service. This skeleton database will be overwritten by the restore encoded in this automation. For automatic backups you should enable it in OCI Cloud Console.
Download RMAN cloud module zip file from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/availability/oracle-cloud-backup-2162729.html and put this file into directory which will be then defined as opc_installer_zip_src_location variable in setup.json file.
Define inventory file (use templates from /examples subdirectory as a starting point)
In case of non-Exadata environments you can use discovery_setup_json.sh to collect some values for setup.json payload file. After succesful execution you should expect setup.json_discovery_ file in root directory of ADMT. Of course you can collect all data manually as well and of course some data still need to be provided by hand and cannot be derived (for example backup configuration for transport and then on the target side)
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ ./discovery_setup_json.sh

In case of Exadata environments you have multihome configuration and you need to provide database_unique_name to discovery_setup_json.sh. In the example below we are moving AWS SI 11gR2 to ExaCS in OCI. In OCI Console we can obtain database_unique_name (aws112db_phx18q). We should provide this value for the -t parameter (target). If ExaCS is on the source we should use -s (source) parameter:
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ ./discovery_setup_json.sh -t 'aws112db_phx18q'
Argument source_dbname is
Argument target_dbname is aws112db_phx18q
Executing ansible-playbook with discovery_setup_json.yml file where oracle_source_dbname.
1) oracle_source_dbname will be empty. Expecting only one ORACLE_HOME in oraInventory on the source (non Exadata environment).
2) oracle_target_dbname has been set to aws112db_phx18q. Script will try to extract ORACLE_HOME for this database (multihome, Exadata environment).

Execute the sequence of shell scripts (wrappers for ansible-playbook utility). First execution will cover the source side (OCI-C). This step is not obligatory with all substeps when restore in OCI is based on OCI-C OSS. For more details please check ADMT advanced configuration section below.

Step limited to VMDB, no ExaCS support.
Execute this script for setting backup in OCI Control Plane (via DBCLI). We have to options: (1) automatic backup available in OCI Console and (2) manual backup executed with DBCLI, based on predefined bucket.
If you want to use automatic backups you should then stay with empty values for oracle_target_database_oci_**** variables in setup.json file:
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ cat setup.json | grep oracle_target_database_oci_
"oracle_target_database_oci_endpoint_url": "",
"oracle_target_database_oci_tenancy": "",
"oracle_target_database_oci_user": "",
"oracle_target_database_oci_authtoken_pass": "",
"oracle_target_database_oci_bucketname": "",
If you want to create your own manual backups (scheduled in crotab) with DBCLI then first you need to create a bucket and set it in setup.json file (here it will be bkup_src18si_phx1vx).
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ cat setup.json | grep oracle_target_database_oci_
"oracle_target_database_oci_endpoint_url": "https://swiftobjectstorage.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/v1",
"oracle_target_database_oci_tenancy": "mytenancy",
"oracle_target_database_oci_user": "myuser",
"oracle_target_database_oci_authtoken_pass": "****************",
"oracle_target_database_oci_bucketname": "mybucket",
Next we need to execute setup_STEP3_backup_config:
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ ./setup_STEP3_backup_config.sh
After this automation we should see such output from dbcli list-jobs:
[root@src121si ~]# /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/dbcli list-jobs

If you want to utilize already existing backup in OCI-C for particular DBCS system, you need to define this OCI-C OSS configuration in setup.json file. On the other hand, if you want to omit the configuration of RMAN module in OCI-C you need to disable configuration in the setup.json file. As a consequence script will utilize current RMAN configuration for SBT_TAPE library on the source. Here is the example:
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ more setup.json
"opc_installer_zip_src_location" : "/home/opc/opc_installer.zip",
"oci_endpoint_url": "https://ocic_account.us.storage.oraclecloud.com/v1/Storage-ocic_account",
"oci_tenancy": "",
"oci_user": "myuser",
"oci_authtoken_pass": "****************",
"oci_oss_container": "dbcs-mydatabase",
(...)
"prepare_rman_on_source": "False",
"tde_upload_to_oss": "True",
"backup_level0": "True",
"backup_level1": "True",
(...)
WARNING! In case of using OCI-C backups you need to be sure about the status of your RMAN's BACKUP OPTIMIZATION - it should be set to OFF:
RMAN> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
Default value for the number of RMAN channels is 6. If you want to enlarge it you will need to change the value of rman_channels_number:
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ more defaults/main.yml | grep rman_channels_number
rman_channels_number: "6"
By default RMAN encryption on transit is enabled and password is set to some value. You can disable it by commenting this variable in the default/main.yml file.
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ more defaults/main.yml | grep rman_password_on_transit
rman_password_on_transit: "aq12ws"
By default RMAN operations will be executed as Ansible asynchronous tasks (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_async.html). It means Ansible will fork a process on the source or on the target system and periodically (every 30 seconds) it will check forked process status. This periodical checking will persist until predefined timeout. You can enlarge it for bigger databases. Default value is 144000 seconds = 40 hours.
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ more defaults/main.yml | grep ansible_async_
ansible_async_backup_source_timeout: "144000"
ansible_async_restore_source_timeout: "144000"
Problem description:
Restore from level 0 backup in OCI fails with the RMAN's errors as follows:
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 8 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 6 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 5 found to restore
Action to be taken:
Check if PDB$SEED is included in the backups, turn RMAN's BACKUP OPTIMZATION to OFF and backup PDB$SEED files manually into OCI-C object container:
RMAN> run {
allocate channel c1 device type sbt PARMS "SBT_LIBRARY=libopc.so, ENV=(OPC_PFILE=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/opcORCL.ora)";
backup datafile 5,6,8;
}

}
Action to be taken:
Go to the source machine and change (temporary) /etc/sudoers as follows:
[root@lukeocic ~]# more /etc/sudoers | grep tty
# Refuse to run if unable to disable echo on the tty.

Action to be taken:
Go to the default/main.yml file in the ADMT root directory and hash rman_password_on_transit variable as follows:
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ more defaults/main.yml | grep rman_password_on_transit
#rman_password_on_transit: "<rman_password>"
Problem description:
Backup fails with the warnings/errors:
"RMAN-06908: WARNING: operation will not run in parallel on the allocated channels,"
"RMAN-06909: WARNING: parallelism require Enterprise Edition".
Action to be taken:
Go to the default/main.yml file in the ADMT root directory and reduce variable rman_channels_number to value 1 as follows:
[opc@ansible-server ~]$ more defaults/main.yml | grep rman_channels_number
rman_channels_number: "1"
