About time... cross availability domain restore for #oracledatabase #oracleoci for #oraclebasedb and #exadbd via. console available:

You can now launch #oracledatabase base DB service on Ampere based shapes. Unfortunately #oraclerac isn't available yet (so only LVM). Don't be surprised by max 57 OCPU, that has do with memory/socket assignment. PS: And no Standard Edition

@svilmune @OracleCloud You already have long term backups. It is called standalone backups! The only thing missing is an automatic deletion policy after x days/month/years. Not actually hard to do/script… With the big difference that DBCS/ExaDB-D doesn’t care if you drop the original database or not!

One thing what came out today, Autonomous DB on @OracleCloud now supports long term backups! I believe up to 10 years. So, now same for DBCS and ExaCS.. :)

#oracle #oracleexadata on-premises now available with Oracle Linux 8 (UEK 6): linkedin.com/posts/alexblyt… OL8 support for #oraclecloud will definitely follow now that OL8 support is released.

Enhanced @oraclecloud @oracleexadata infrastructure maintenance now includes additional time for custom action and events before/after each node patching. #GUID-820C1496-015F-4A97-BE94-B9DCF79CA4FA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/exa… Unfortunately, not yet live in every region (e.g. FRA is missing). But will be soon!

#oracledatabase #oraclecloud besides the AMD E4 shapes also now supports Intel X9 shapes for the new DB System launches.

@FranckPachot @oraclebase Honestly I doubt that was the intention…

@s2solbach @oraclebase It is a great marketing strategy given that any DBA adds "Oracle Base" when searching on Google. That's what I do to find the best explanation and examples

This time waited until it is fully official: New #oraclecloud AMD shapes for #orcldatabase Cloud Service, with flex OCPUs and more IOPs: blogs.oracle.com/database/post/….

@oraclebase @FranckPachot At first I didn’t like the new name for DBCS…, but with that perspective it is a great name ;)! Now I only need to find reasoning for ExaDB-D ….

@FranckPachot @s2solbach They are fanboying me. 😃

@FSimonDBA You should modify before DG setup. Then it should work. After DG setup is a different discussion (eg dbaascli does not yet allow changing pwd in DG environment)

@s2solbach Nice to know, I will check and try. But I remember that after you modify some parameters your DG stops to work. Switchover does not work by example. We can talk for more details to be improved (I have one list).

Had an exciting discussion @DOAGDB22 that dbaascli on #exadatacloud #exacc can't create databases without db_domain. While true, came across "dbaascli database modifyParameters -h" today, which is the supported way to change DB_DOMAIN after creation @FSimonDBA

@dhoogfr You can try again now.

@dhoogfr 1st of June. Sry for the delay. No technical reason…

@dhoogfr Unfortunately that is right. There is a fix ratio of 16 GB per OCPU (which is 1 GB more for the same price)… but flex memory is not available.

@svilmune We now show the theoretical max iops for 8k blocks for the configured storage and if your system will most likely be network (shape) or storage bound….

Great news! Storage with DBCS has been mystery so far!

@svilmune @OracleCloud Slides will be in English (only presentation will be in German ;). Official release should be soon.... (though some customers have access since 1 month...)

@s2solbach @OracleCloud Aber es ist auf Deutsch? 🙂 Is that module available yet for general public?

OCI WORM compliance with custom DB backups, agree or disagree? @OracleCloud thatfinnishguy.blog/2022/05/09/wor…

@svilmune Fully supported from DB side, but tooling isn’t displaying it correctly. however not worth the hassle as it should be available soon.

@s2solbach Mainly wanted to highlight as it's been ask with couple customers who require customer managed keys being used. (ExaCS though) I'd be curious what technically/manually means for support?

No cross-region DG support if I read this right. Don't think ExaCS support it yet either, Autonomous is the only one right now. 😐

@svilmune @dhoogfr @pfierens @OracleCloud @ociryan Yes you can... it is just not called instance principals (as the instance isn't owned by you), but resource principals (as you own the DB System): HowTo configure oci-cli with Instance/Resource Principals (Doc ID 2763990.1)

@s2solbach @dhoogfr @pfierens @OracleCloud @ociryan I think the db nodes in general are lacking functionality as they are not recognized as VM nodes. For example you can't use instance principals for those which would be really helpful (backups/scripting etc.).
