The things that I reckon are likely to convince them are (a) plenty of
paying customers for Rdb on VMS, which will show them that VMS is
thriving, and (b) Rdb customers wanting Oracle DB. The latter seems
counter-intuitive, but Rdb customers have demonstrated to Oracle that
they have money to spend, and that's even more important to Oracle that
to most companies.
