Oracle Pluggable Database (PDB) resources protect one or more Oracle PDBs within a Container Database (CDB). When a failover occurs, LifeKeeper opens the protected PDBs in the standby CDB.

Resource Type: database/pdb
Aliases: pdb

Preconditions

  • Oracle Database with Multi-tenant architecture (CDB/PDB) must be installed on the server.
  • The specified CDB SID must exist and be accessible.
  • The PDB names listed in --oracle-pdb-list must exist within the CDB.

Subcommands

Oracle Pluggable Database resources are managed by commands of the form:

lkcli resource database/pdb <subcommand> [flags]

Subcommand Description Required Role
create Create a new Oracle PDB resource admin
extend Extend to a standby server admin
get-property Read a resource property guest
set-property Update an editable resource property admin

create

lkcli resource database/pdb create \
  --oracle-sid=<string> --oracle-pdb-list=<array> [flags]

Flag Short Type Required Default Constraints Description
--oracle-sid string Yes SID of the Container Database (CDB)
--oracle-pdb-list array Yes Comma-separated list of PDB names to protect
--tag string No Auto-generated Resource tag name
--switchback enum No INTELLIGENT INTELLIGENT, AUTOMATIC Switchback type

extend

lkcli resource database/pdb extend --primary-sys=<string> --primary-tag=<string> [flags]

Flag Short Type Required Default Constraints Description
--primary-sys string Yes Hostname of the server the existing resource is extended from
--primary-tag string Yes Tag of the existing resource to extend
--standby-sys string No Value of --host (defaults to localhost) Hostname of the standby server
--switchback enum No INTELLIGENT INTELLIGENT, AUTOMATIC Switchback type
--primary-priority int No Defaults to the current priority of the --primary-sys server, or 1 if the resource has not yet been extended min: 1, max: 999 Failover priority for the primary server
--standby-priority int No Defaults to an unused value which is computed dynamically based on the priority values currently in-use min: 1, max: 999 Failover priority for the standby server

get-property / set-property

lkcli resource database/pdb get-property --tag=<string> --property=<string>
lkcli resource database/pdb set-property --tag=<string> --property=<string> --value=<string>

Flag Short Type Required Description
--tag -t string Yes Resource tag name
--property -p string Yes Property name (see Properties table below)
--value -v string Yes (set-property only) New property value

Properties

Property Type Constraints Editable Description
oracle-cdb string No The Container Database (CDB) SID that hosts the PDBs
oracle-pdb-list array Yes List of Pluggable Database names to protect
quickcheck-interval int min: 0, max: 604800 Yes Quickcheck interval in seconds (default: 180)
switchback enum INTELLIGENT, AUTOMATIC Yes Switchback type

Example Usage

# Create an Oracle PDB resource protecting two PDBs within CDB CDBORCL
lkcli resource database/pdb create \
  --host=server1 \
  --oracle-sid=CDBORCL \
  --oracle-pdb-list="SALESPDB,HRPDB" \
  --tag=pdb.CDBORCL

# Extend to server2
lkcli resource pdb extend \
  --primary-sys=server1 \
  --primary-tag=pdb.CDBORCL \
  --standby-sys=server2
