Adjust db_recovery_file_dest_size in auto-generated PFILE:
- Previous: 20G
- New: 50G
- Reason: Provide more space for RMAN restore operations and backups

Enhancement to rman_restore_from_zero.ps1:
- Auto-generate initROA.ora if not found at service creation
- Uses exact tested configuration from initROA.ora:
- memory_target=1024M (tested DR VM allocation)
- _allow_resetlogs_corruption=TRUE (critical for DR restore!)
- control_files in oradata + recovery_area
- Standard Oracle 19c parameters for DR environment
Benefits:
- Script is now fully self-sufficient
- No manual PFILE setup required
- DR VM can be restored from completely clean state
- Uses battle-tested configuration

Performance improvements:
- cleanup_database.ps1: Skip service deletion (saves ~25s per test)
- Remove oradim -delete, sc.exe delete, registry cleanup
- Add SPFILE deletion to ensure PFILE-based startup
- Service now persists between tests for reuse
- rman_restore_from_zero.ps1: Smart service check (saves ~15s per test)
- Check if service exists before creating
- Skip oradim -new if service already present
- Only create service on first run or if missing
Total time savings: ~40 seconds per weekly DR test
Service lifecycle: Created once, reused indefinitely until manual cleanup

rman_restore_from_zero.ps1:
- Add -TestMode switch parameter
- TestMode (weekly DR test): Skip service/listener config, only verify restore works
- Standalone mode: Full config with SPFILE + Listener for production use
weekly-dr-test-proxmox.sh:
- Call restore script with -TestMode flag
- Avoids service recreation and SSH disconnect during tests
Benefits:
- Weekly tests are faster and cleaner (no service restart)
- Manual restore prepares system for production use
- No more 'Broken pipe' errors during tests

Remove service delete/recreate at step 3.3 that was causing 'Broken pipe' error
Service is already configured with auto-start at step 2.1 - no need to recreate
Issue: oradim -delete was killing running database and breaking SSH connection
Solution: Skip recreation, service already has correct auto-start configuration

weekly-dr-test-proxmox.sh:
- Replace Unix commands (echo, grep) with PowerShell equivalents
- Use PowerShell Select-String for database status verification
- Fix table count query to work properly through SSH
rman_restore_from_zero.ps1:
- Set Oracle service to AUTOMATIC startup (was manual)
- Set Listener service to AUTOMATIC startup
- Auto-start Listener after database restore
- Add fallback to lsnrctl if service start fails

- Add cleanup_database.ps1: PowerShell version without input redirection issues
- Add rman_restore_from_zero.ps1: PowerShell version with inline SQL commands
- Update weekly-dr-test-proxmox.sh: Call .ps1 scripts via PowerShell
PowerShell scripts resolve SSH 'Input redirection not supported' errors
All SQL commands are piped directly to sqlplus (no temp files needed)
