Use Google Cloud NetApp Volumes iSCSI block storage to deploy high availability Oracle Database 26ai with Oracle Data Guard on Google Compute Engine. This workflow guides you through deployment options, infrastructure provisioning, Oracle software installation, and high availability configuration, leveraging GCNV's storage-layer replication for accelerated standby initialization.
Understand the Google Cloud NetApp Volumes architecture for Oracle Database 26ai high availability, including GCNV iSCSI block storage design, Data Guard integration, and storage topology.
Compare deployment tiers from dev/test to production HA and confirm infrastructure, access, and software prerequisites.
Confirm required access, API enablement, networking prerequisites, and time synchronization.
Create VMs for primary database, standby database, and Fast-Start Failover Observer.
Create GCNV storage pools and iSCSI volumes, configure multipath, and set up ASM disk groups.
Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database 26ai software on both database hosts.
Create the primary Oracle database with ASM storage and configure Oracle Restart.
Initialize the standby database using GCNV replication, snapshots, or clones, then register with Oracle Restart. All HA tiers complete this step.
Create standby redo logs, enable flashback, activate redo shipping, and verify Data Guard state. Tier-specific: Required only for Prod HA (Data Guard + FSFO) tier.
Enable the broker, create the Data Guard configuration, enable FSFO, and configure the Observer. Tier-specific: Required only for Prod HA (Data Guard + FSFO) tier.
