When you want to migrate older instances of IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot for Oracle for multi-databases management with a single IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Oracle instance, use the Migration Tool. Enter instancemigration_ora.sh in the instance directory to launch the tool.

Before you begin

Ensure that the instance is activated. For more information about this procedure, see Activating the instance.

Procedure

After successfully configuring the production database instance with the Configuration Wizard, launch the Migration Tool from the acs directory by entering the following command as the root user.

instancemigration_ora.sh
Select one IBM Storage Protect Snapshot instance to be migrated into the multi-database instance and press Enter to see a detailed view. To confirm that the displayed instance is the one you want to migrate, press Migrate instance.
Repeat this step for each instance you require to migrate into the multi-database instance.

The active profile is named profile and is in the ACS_DIR unless you specified a different profile.
The daemons are temporarily stopped when migrating the new instance without overwriting anything.
Set up backup and clone servers to complete the migration by using the Configuration Wizard options.

Results

The updated profile contains all the information for the new instance of IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Oracle with the information for the migrated instances. All backups and clones of the migrated instance are available for IBM Storage Protect Snapshot operations. All passwords and repository information is migrated to the instance.
