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

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

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

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

@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!

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

#oracle #oracleexadata on-premises now available with Oracle Linux 8 (UEK 6): https://t.co/iIo4YzRicJ
OL8 support for #oraclecloud will definitely follow now that OL8 support is released.

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

Enhanced @oraclecloud @oracleexadata infrastructure maintenance now includes additional time for custom action and events before/after each node patching. https://t.co/WScTZ5hWtN
Unfortunately, not yet live in every region (e.g. FRA is missing). But will be soon!

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

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

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

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

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

This time waited until it is fully official: New #oraclecloud AMD shapes for #orcldatabase Cloud Service, with flex OCPUs and more IOPs: https://t.co/cLHYqWSs8J.

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

@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 ….

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

@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)

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

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

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

@dhoogfr You can try again now.

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

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

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

@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.

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

@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….

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

@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...)

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

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

[Sebastian Solbach @s2solbach]

@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):
