Creating a Oracle Database
This page covers the configuration specific to Oracle — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode
Select the topology under Database Mode:
- Standalone — A single-node Oracle instance.
- DataGuard — An Oracle Data Guard configuration with a primary and standby database for disaster recovery.
When DataGuard is selected:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of Replicas | Number of database nodes. Required. |
| Protection Mode | MaximumAvailability, MaximumPerformance, or MaximumProtection. |
| Sync Mode | SYNC or ASYNC redo transport. |
| Standby Type | PHYSICAL or LOGICAL standby. |
| Apply Lag Threshold | Optional threshold for the observer to act on apply lag. |
