Quiescing a PDB with Oracle 12c/Netapp

edited Aug 6, 2015 10:01AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

Summary:

Is there/Will there be a way with Oracle 12C to quiesce a PDB to allow a DBA to take a read consistent snapshot of a single PDB?

Body:

Our organization makes heavy use of Netapp snapshots and clones to create secondary environments for QA and development purposes.  Right now I have to snapshot/clone entire 11.2.0.4 instances and do a lot of manipulation in order to present the clone to our qa servers (init parameter changes, instance renaming, etc.)  I could continue along these lines with Oracle 12c by cloning and reconfiguring entire CDBs for our secondary servers..

BUT what I would like to do is to be able to be able to quiesce a PDB in my production container (without closing or making it read only) such that I could take a Netapp snapshot of the PDB datafiles, clone the snapshot and plug the clone into my target server.. 

Howdy, Stranger!
