process we're going to be freeing up a lot of our previous hardware and
storage. The current storage is Pure m70.
What we 'thought' we were going to do was something like this (high level):
1. Migrate DB to Exadata
2. Rebuild standby dbs on non-exadata using the now freed up Pure storage
3. Clone dev/test/staging environments from Standby DB on Pure
HOWEVER, I'm not sure that's doable as Exadata uses TDE and Advanced
Compression. It doesn't appear that Pure likes using AC at the DB layer
and instead prefers managing the compression and deduplication internally.
Question(s):
1. Has anyone here built a standby on different hardware from Exadata when
primary is on Exadata?
