Migrating an Amazon Oracle RDS Instance to an Azure Instance

You can use the Commvault software to migrate an Amazon RDS Oracle instance to an Azure database.

Run the predefined Oracle_RDStoAzure workflow. The workflow automates the following processes:

  • Retrieves the RDS data and transforms it to a cloud-independent format by using native Oracle commands such as expdp.

  • Migrates the data to local database.

After the migration is complete, you have a local copy of the Amazon RDS database on a Linux client.

Before You Begin

  1. Verify that the client can connect to the Amazon RDS instance.

    • The Amazon RDS instance must be publically accessible (connected to a VPC that has the internet gateway enabled).

    • The Amazon RDS instance security group must allow for network connections on the Amazon RDS listener port (the listener port is typically 1521).

    • The local firewall or the Azure firewall must allow for a two-way connect to Amazon RDS.

  2. Verify that the Amazon RDS instance has enough space for the Oracle export.

Procedure

  1. From the CommCell Browser, go to Workflows.

  2. Right-click Oracle_RDStoAzure, and then click All Tasks > Execute.

    The Oracle_RDStoAzure Options dialog box appears.

  3. On the Inputs tab, specify the migration options.

    1. From the Run workflow on list, select the client that the workflow runs on.

    2. In the RDS Instance Name box, type the name of the Amazon RDS database. instance

    3. In the RDS Database Username and RDS Database User Password boxes, type the user credentials that you use to connect to the Amazon RDS database.

    4. From the Azure Client Name list, select the migration destination. The destination is a client on the CommCell Console.

    5. In the Azure Staging location, type the full path to the directory where the Commvault software stores the exported Amazon RDS data before it imports the data to the local database.

    6. In the Azure Database Instance Name box,type the name of the destination Azure database instance name.

    7. In the Azure Instance Oracle Home box, type the full path to the $ORACLE_HOME directory for the Azure database instance.

  4. Click OK.

    You can track the progress of the workflow job from the Job Controller. For instructions on using the Job Controller, see Getting Started with the Job Controller.
