Narrative:
#2 engine lost oil and quantity went to zero. Oil pressure went to zero. High vibration. ECAM action to shutdown engine 2; QRH next; [advised ATC]; advised company landed at nearest suitable airport with fire equipment standing by. No further incident. Secured aircraft; advised dispatch of safe landing. Gathered my crew; customs paperwork; secured overnight hotel and DH out the next day. This was a maintenance ferry flight with no passengers and no fas; just 2 pilot crew. High vibration just under advisory levels in #2 engine during later part of cruise caused oil line break; leakage; in my opinion. More thorough history check of engine preceding maintenance ferry flight may have shown high vibration on inbound flight that caused that oil line breakage. Oil line fixed for my flight; but vibration not investigated enough.
