Oracle Cloud Storage Common Terms and Usage

Oracle Cloud Storage Common Terms and Usage


Oracle Cloud provides a variety of storage services and features to meet different storage needs. Here are some key storage terms and their usage in Oracle Cloud:

Object Storage: Oracle Cloud Object Storage is a scalable and durable storage service designed for storing and managing unstructured data, such as files, images, videos, and backups. It's suitable for use cases like data archiving, content storage, and data backup.

Buckets: In Object Storage, data is organized into containers called "buckets." Buckets are used to group related objects and manage access permissions. You can create, delete, and manage buckets to organize your data.

Objects: Objects are individual files or pieces of data stored within buckets. Each object has a unique URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for access. You can upload, download, and delete objects in a bucket.

Object Versioning: Object versioning is a feature in Oracle Cloud Object Storage that allows you to preserve previous versions of objects when they are overwritten or deleted. This helps in data protection and recovery.

Object Lifecycle Policies: You can define rules known as lifecycle policies to automate the management of objects within buckets. For example, you can set policies to automatically delete or archive objects based on specific criteria.

Archive Storage: Archive Storage is a low-cost storage class in Oracle Cloud Object Storage designed for long-term data retention. It is ideal for data that needs to be stored for compliance or archival purposes.

Block Volume: Oracle Cloud Block Volume is a high-performance, durable, and scalable block storage service. It provides storage for virtual machine instances and can be used for databases, applications, and other workloads.

Boot Volume: Boot Volumes are block volumes used as the boot disks for compute instances. You can create custom images from boot volumes to use for launching new instances.

File Storage: Oracle Cloud File Storage is a fully managed NFS (Network File System) service that allows you to create file systems and share them across multiple compute instances. It's suitable for shared storage needs in application environments.

Storage Gateway: Oracle Cloud Storage Gateway enables hybrid cloud scenarios by extending on-premises storage to the cloud. It allows seamless integration between on-premises environments and Oracle Cloud Storage services.

Data Transfer Services: Oracle offers data transfer services like Data Transfer Appliance and Data Transfer Service to help you securely move large volumes of data to and from Oracle Cloud.

Storage Tiers: Oracle Cloud offers multiple storage tiers with different performance characteristics and costs. These include Standard, Archive, and Cold tiers for object storage and various block storage options.

Data Encryption: Oracle Cloud provides data encryption at rest and in transit to ensure the security of your stored data.

Backup Services: Oracle Cloud offers backup services for databases and other workloads, including Oracle Cloud Backup and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Backup Service.

Replication: Oracle Cloud provides options for replicating data across different regions or availability domains for high availability and disaster recovery purposes.

These are some of the key storage terms and their usage in Oracle Cloud. Depending on your specific requirements, you can choose the appropriate storage service and features to meet your storage needs, whether they involve object storage, block storage, file storage, or data transfer.

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool Oracle WebLogic Deploy Tool (WDT) is an open-source project designed to simplify and streamline the management of Oracle WebLogic Server domains. With WDT, you can export configuration and application files from one WebLogic Server domain and import them into another, making it a highly effective tool for tasks like migrating on-premises WebLogic configurations to Oracle Cloud. This blog outlines a detailed step-by-step process for using WDT to migrate WebLogic resources and configurations. Supported WLS versions Why Use WDT for Migration? When moving Oracle WebLogic resources from an on-premises environment to Oracle Cloud (or another WebLogic Server), WDT provides an efficient and reliable approach to: Discover and export domain configurations and application binaries. Create reusable models and archives for deployment in a target domain. Key Pre-Requisites Source System: An Oracle WebLogic Server with pre-configured resources such as: Applica...

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database Validating the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet password is crucial, especially when ensuring that the password is correct without using the OPEN or CLOSE commands in the database. This blog post explains a straightforward method to validate the TDE password using the mkstore utility. Steps to Validate TDE Wallet Password Follow these steps to validate the TDE wallet password: Step 1: Copy the Keystore/Wallet File Navigate to your existing TDE wallet directory. Copy only the ewallet.p12 file to a new directory. If a cwallet.sso file exists, do not copy it . The absence of cwallet.sso ensures that the wallet does not use auto-login, forcing the utility to prompt for the password. Step 2: Validate Using mkstore Use the mkstore utility to check the contents of the wallet file. The mkstore utility will prompt you for the TDE wallet password, allowing you to validate its correctness. Command Syntax To display the conten...

Rename a PDB in Oracle Database Multitenant Architecture in TDE and Non TDE Environment

Rename a PDB in Oracle Database Multitenant Architecture I am sharing a step-by-step guide to help you rename a PDB. This approach uses SQL commands. Without TDE or encryption Wallet Initial Check Check the Current Database Name and Open Mode: SQL > SELECT NAME, OPEN_MODE FROM V$DATABASE; NAME OPEN_MODE --------- -------------------- BEECDB READ WRITE List Current PDBs: SQL > SHOW PDBS; CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ---------- 2 PDB$SEED READ ONLY NO 3 FUAT READ WRITE NO We need to RENAME FUAT to BEE  Steps to Rename the PDB Step 1: Export ORACLE_SID Set the Oracle SID to the Container Database (CDB): export ORACLE_SID=BEECDB Step 2: Verify Target PDB Name Availability If the target PDB name is different from the current PDB name, ensure no service exists with the target PDB name. Run SQL to Check Exi...
