Deploy Oracle Database step by step on Amazon EVS with FSx for ONTAP

Architecture Blog

This article provides step-by-step procedures to deploy Oracle Database on Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as NFS datastore storage.

  • Provision Oracle VM on EVS with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 or Oracle Linux 8
  • Create FSx for ONTAP volumes for Oracle binaries, data files, and redo/archive logs
  • Mount FSx for ONTAP NFS datastores in vSphere and create VMDKs for Oracle storage
  • Install Oracle 19c on XFS filesystems backed by FSx for ONTAP NFS datastores
  • Configure SnapMirror replication for cross-region disaster recovery
  • Deploy SnapCenter for Oracle-aware backup and point-in-time recovery
  • Four migration paths: VMware HCX live migration, SnapMirror ONTAP-to-ONTAP, Oracle PDB relocation, or RMAN backup/restore
  • Day-2 operations include snapshot backup, point-in-time recovery, database cloning, and HA failover

Enterprises can deploy Oracle on EVS while preserving existing VMware workflows without rearchitecting, with integrated disaster recovery and backup capabilities.
