Migration options of rdms from Dell storage array to Pure storage array
We have physical Oracle servers and a couple of virtual Oracle servers. The databases disks for the databases are mounted to their Oracle server(s) as rdms on the virtual servers and raw disks on the physical Oracle servers. Currently these database disks are on a Dell storage array and we will migrate them to a Pure //X90 R4 storage array. What options do we have to do this? I read using Oracle ASM is one way but was curious of other ways anyone has used to do this type of migration.
vasa certs - can they just be removed?
Can someone shed some light on this as it seems overly complex (or at least the docs weave an incorrect thread). Just trying to make sense of whether the VASA certs are or aren't needed for anything other than vVols. As we never got around to actually attempting vVols and they are deprecated anyhow going foward, can they be pruned from the appliances? This page which is referenced from the alerts they spam out way, way too early Alert 220 - VASA Certificates Expiration Alert seems to imply they can be removed, but steps 1-3 show renewing them on the linked page Resetting the VASA Certificates with purecert. thanksA New Identity for a New Era

Hey gang, If any of you currently hold a Flash Array certification there is an alternative to retaking the test to renew your cert. The Continuing Pure Education (CPE) program takes into account learning activities and community engagement and contribution hours to renew your FA certification. I just successfully renewed my Flash Array Storage Professional cert by tracking my activities. Below are the details I received from Pure. Customers can earn 1 CPE credit per hour of session attendance at Accelerate, for a maximum of 10 CPEs total (i.e., up to 10 hours of sessions). Sessions must be attended live. I would go ahead and add all the sessions you attended at Accelerate to the CPE_Submission form. Associate-level certifications will auto-renew as long as there is at least one active higher-level certification (e.g., Data Storage Associate will auto-renew anytime a Professional-level cert is renewed). All certifications other than the Data Storage Associate should be renewed separately. At this time, the CPE program only applies to FlashArray-based exams. Non- FA exams may be renewed by retaking the respective test every three years. You should be able to get the CPE submission form from your account team. Once complete email your recertification Log to peak-education@purestorage.com for formal processing.Help Shape the Future of the Pure Storage Customer Community! 🧡
