Output Object

The cmdlet returns the VEORIRDatabase object that contains the Oracle database published within the instant recovery session.

Examples

Restore-VEORIRDatabase Example 1. Performing Instant Recovery of Oracle Database to Original Location with Scheduled Switchover

Restore-VEORIRDatabase Example 2. Performing Instant Recovery of Oracle Database to Specific Server with Manual Switchover

This example shows how to perform instant recovery of the orcl database to its latest state with the following settings:

The cmdlet will restore the database to the linorcl01 target server.
The cmdlet will restore an Oracle database with the orcl_published.tech.local global database name.
The cmdlet will restore the database with the orclpub SID.
The cmdlet will restore an Oracle database to the /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/db_home_2 Oracle home path.
To perform the switchover operation manually, you must run the Switch-VEORIRDatabase cmdlet.

$restore = Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint -Id fa4de91d-a493-41a8-88f7-1e29b0ab838d

$session = Start-VEORRestoreSession -RestorePoint $restore

$db = Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session -Name "orcl"

$ManualSwitch = New-VEORIRSwitchOverOptions -Manual

$securepassword = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter password" -AsSecureString

$linuxCredentials = New-VEORLinuxCredential -Account "oracle" -Password $securepassword -ElevateAccountToRoot

$IRDatabase = Restore-VEORIRDatabase -Database $db -SwitchOverOptions $ManualSwitch -Server "linorcl01" -OracleSid "orclpub" -GlobalDatabaseName "orcl_published.tech.local" -LinuxCredentials $linuxCredentials -OracleHome "/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/db_home_2" -Force

Switch-VEORIRDatabase -Database $IRDatabase
