Migration options of rdms from Dell storage array to Pure storage array

Question

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.

Hi Kyle, there are a number of different options available to us, including the Oracle online datafile move, Oracle Recover Manager (RMAN) backup/restore, Oracle DataGuard failover, Data Pump, GoldenGate, host base mirroring, storage replication to name just a few.

For databases that can not support any downtime, Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is an excellent option, I have written a blog post on this, which you can read here.
