The client has half rack Exadata X6, with Oracle 12.1.0.2 running on it.
The database itself is 35 TB. The client would like to have a standby DB
in a spare location. They envisioned a normal Linux box, with 64 cores
and 1 TB RAM, connected to NetApp All Flash. So far, so good. I was
asked to build that standby. I have only one issue: HCC. The client is
using hybrid columnar compression on Exadata. If I restore RMAN backup
to a non-Exadata box, will the restored database be able to read the
tables? What about the log apply? Messing around with a backup of 35 TB
database can waste quite a bit of time. So, has anybody ever done a
non-Exadata standby to an Exadata database?
