My company is in the planning stages for two systems hosting Oracle databases (19c) using data guard to run as primary and standby
system 1: ORACLE_SID: PRIM OS:Solaris SAN: NetApp
System 2: ORACLE_SID: STBY OS:Solaris SAN: PowerMax 2500
In other systems we use the primary for data transactions, and the standby for data reporting. For development and testing we clone the standby instance to a development server. The clone process involves copying the datafiles onto the dev server, and then doing a database recovery to make sure everything is consistent.
So far everything has been Solaris/NetApp and that has worked fine. But in this new configuration, we are using Solaris/PowerMax. I have been charged in figuring out whether there might be compatibility issues arising from our use of PowerMax. Can we safely copy .dbf files from a PowerMax storage device to a NetApp device?
I’m looking for documentation that describes any compatibility issues.
