OCI Migration Tools.v1.2

This document discusses strategies for migrating different workload types from on-premises environments to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It provides guidance on migrating virtual machines from VMware to OCI using OCI's native VMDK import or converting formats. For physical workloads, it recommends using P2V tools to convert to a VM image and upload to OCI. The document also gives links for migrating databases from on-premises to OCI using various Oracle Database migration methods and exporting data, as well as using custom scripts for migrating web and application workloads and transactional data.

OCI Migration Tools & Strategy

Physical Vs Virtual Workloads


VMWare VM to OCI
 Install Oracle para-virtualized drivers in Windows VM before export the VM.

 Export VMWare VM from ESXi GUI or OVFTool

o Exporting virtual machines from VMware Workstation to ESX/ESXi

o https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1012258

o VMware OVF Tool (ovftool) is a command-line utility to export OVF packages from

VMware

o https://code.vmware.com/web/tool/4.3.0/ovf

 OCI’s Native VMDK Import feature & no need to convert VMware VM

ge.htm

 Upload VM in VMDK file format using OCI CLI tool

 Importing Windows VMs in paravirtualization mode

 Windows/Linux VM exported either in VMDK or QCOW2 format

 Based on requirements, convert VM from VMDK to KVM format

 VirtualIO drivers for windows

Physical Server Workloads
 Converting the Host with P2V Utility

 Uploading image to OCI

 Create a VM using your imported image

 P2V Utility steps documented in below KM Article still holds good:

o How to Import Custom Images to OCI (Doc ID 2330167.1)

o How to Convert Linux and Windows Physical (P2V) and Virtual Machines (V2V) to

Oracle VM Virtual Machines (Doc ID 754059.1)

o How to Convert Linux and Windows Physical (P2V) and Virtual Machines (V2V) to

Oracle VM Virtual Machines (Link)

o P2V Tool Documentation (Link)

Application (Web/App) Vs Database Workloads


Database Workloads to OCI
 Migrating an On-Premises Database to OCI

https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Database/Tasks/mig-onprembackup.htm

 Migrating from Oracle Database 11g to Oracle Database 12c in the Cloud

https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Database/Tasks/mig-11g-12c.htm

 Data Pump Conventional Export/Import

https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Database/Tasks/mig-data-pump-

conventional.htm

Web/App Workloads to OCI


 Custom OCI CLI Scripts for migrating any transactional data or storage mount points

 If required, make use of available templates for migrating specific App/Web layers
