Enabling and Disabling an Oracle VDB
Delphix Administration / Oracle Environments and Data Sources / Provisioning VDBs from Oracle, Oracle RAC, and Oracle PDB Sources / Enabling and Disabling an Oracle VDB

This topic describes how to enable and disable a virtual database (VDB).

Disabling a VDB is a pre-requisite for procedures such as VDB migration or upgrade. Disabling a VDB removes all traces of it, including any configuration files, from the target environment to which it was provisioned. When you later enable the VDB again, these configuration files are restored on the target environment.

Procedure

  1. Click Manage.
  2. Select My Datasets.
  3. Click the VDB you want to disable.
  4. Click the Configuration tab.
  5. Move the slider control from Enabled to Disabled.
  6. Click Yes to acknowledge the warning.

When you are ready to enable the VDB again, move the slider control form Disabled to Enabled, and the VDB will continue to function as it did previously.
