Performance Review

Oracle 11g R1 RAC

Recent Posts

Oracle 11g RAC parallel upgrades - Oracle 11g have rolling upgrade features whereby RAC database can be
upgraded without any downtime.

Hot patching - Zero downtime patch application.

Oracle RAC load balancing advisor - Starting from 10g R2 we have RAC load balancing advisor utility. 11g RAC
load balancing advisor is only available with clients who use .NET, ODBC, or the Oracle Call Interface (OCI).

ADDM for RAC - Oracle has incorporated RAC into the automatic database diagnostic monitor, for cross
advisories. The script addmrpt.sql run give report for single instance, will not report all instances in RAC, this
is known as instance ADDM. But using the new package DBMS_ADDM, we can generate report for all instances
of RAC, this known as database ADDM.

Optimized RAC cache fusion protocols - moves on from the general cache fusion protocols in 10g to deal with
specific scenarios where the protocols could be further optimized.

Oracle 11g RAC Grid provisioning - The Oracle grid control provisioning pack allows us to "blow-out" a RAC
node without the time-consuming install, using a pre-installed "footprint".

Oracle 11g R2 RAC

We can store everything on the ASM. We can store OCR & voting files also on the ASM.

ASMCA

Single Client Access Name (SCAN) - eliminates the need to change tns entry when nodes are added to or
removed from the Cluster. RAC instances register to SCAN listeners as remote listeners. SCAN is fully qualified
name. Oracle recommends assigning 3 addresses to SCAN, which create three SCAN listeners.

Clusterware components: crfmond, crflogd, GIPCD.

AWR is consolidated for the database.

11g Release 2 Real Application Cluster (RAC) has server pooling technologies so its easier to provision and
manage database grids. This update is geared toward dynamically adjusting servers as corporations manage

Continue >>

By default, LOAD_BALANCE is ON.

GSD (Global Service Deamon), gsdctl introduced.

GPnP profile.

Cluster information in an XML profile.

o2cb commands

Oracle RAC OneNode is a new option that makes it easier to consolidate databases that arent mission critical,
but need redundancy.

raconeinit - to convert database to RacOneNode.

raconefix - to fix RacOneNode database in case of failure.

racone2rac - to convert RacOneNode back to RAC.

Oracle Restart - the feature of Oracle Grid Infrastructure's High Availability Services (HAS) to manage
associated listeners, ASM instances and Oracle instances.

Oracle Omotion - Oracle 11g release2 RAC introduces new feature called Oracle Omotion, an online migration
utility. This Omotion utility will relocate the instance from one node to another, whenever instance failure
happens.

Omotion utility uses Database Area Network (DAN) to move Oracle instances. Database Area Network (DAN)
technology helps seamless database relocation without losing transactions.

Cluster Time Synchronization Service (CTSS) is a new feature in Oracle 11g R2 RAC, which is used to
synchronize time across the nodes of the cluster. CTSS will be replacement of NTP protocol.

Grid Naming Service (GNS) is a new service introduced in Oracle RAC 11g R2. With GNS, Oracle Clusterware
(CRS) can manage Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and DNS services for the dynamic node
registration and configuration.

Cluster interconnect: Used for data blocks, locks, messages, and SCN numbers.

Oracle Local Registry (OLR) - From Oracle 11gR2 "Oracle Local Registry (OLR)" something new as part of
Oracle Clusterware. OLR is nodes local repository, similar to OCR (but local) and is managed by OHASD. It
pertains data of local node only and is not shared among other nodes.

Multicasting is introduced in 11gR2 for private interconnect traffic.

I/O fencing prevents updates by failed instances, and detecting failure and preventing split brain in cluster.
When a cluster node fails, the failed node needs to be fenced off from all the shared disk devices or
diskgroups. This methodology is called I/O Fencing, sometimes called Disk Fencing or failure fencing.

Re-bootless node fencing (restart) - instead of fast re-booting the node, a graceful shutdown of the stack
attempted.

Clusterware log directories: acfs*

HAIP (IC VIP).

Redundant interconnects: NIC bonding, HAIP.

RAC background processes: DBRM Database Resource Manager, PING Response time agent.

Virtual Oracle 11g RAC cluster - Oracle 11g RAC supports virtualization.
