Provisioning a vPDB to a TDE OKV-enabled target container requires specifying several TDE provisioning parameters using DCT. Additionally, vPDB parameters, such as the vPDB name, target container, and the snapshot to provision from must be provided. A vPDB can be provisioned to either a TDE OKV-enabled Linked CDB or a vCDB.

Delphix Continuous Data Engine does not support provisioning a vPDB from a source snapshot of a dSource or virtual database that is not encrypted or encrypted using a software wallet or hardware security module at the time of linking.

For more information, read the Provisioning TDE OKV-enabled vPDB page.
