  4. Instances .. (all over) Development UAT Test Production Training NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  5. How many Instances? • 10 … • 100… • 1000… “One database per application…” NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  6. Typical server utilization.. 60% 10% 5% 20% Average utilization = 30% 50% Unused system resources ! Target = 80-90% NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  7. Why Consolidate? • Reduce TCO – License, staff, consulting • Improved availability -SLAs • Higher Security • Data Sharing & visibility • Globalization • Better application performance • Centralized backup and archive • Higher ROI – higher utilization • Bottom line = reduce TCO by 20% or more NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  8. Challenges… • High short-term costs • Skilled resources • Potential loss of data • Ability to architect • Testing consolidation efforts • Understanding your workload • Loss of security control • Predicting the growth • Performance issues • Central point of failure NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  9. Various types of consolidation • Location Consolidation • Data center/Centralized office • Better Manageability • Server/Storage Consolidation • Reduce # of Servers • Use of SAN storage • Better performance/scalability • Application/Database Consolidation • Reduce # of Instances • Better Availability/performance/scalability NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  10. Database consolidation • Single Database • Multi-Instance Payroll Payroll Financials HR HR NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  11. How to consolidate? • Single Database • Separate Schema • Assign roles and responsibility • Reconfigure Database Size • Reconfigure Application New Schema NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  12. How to consolidate? • Multi-Instance • Database migrates as separate Instance • Co-exists with other instances on same server • Reconfigure Application Payroll Financials New Instance Existing Instance NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  13. Single database approach • Pros • Provides data sharing • Less support and higher productivity • Higher resource utilization & better SLA’s • Cons • Outage can impact multiple applications • Difficult to consolidate – application dependencies • DBA support – space management • Recommendations • Useful if applications are closely inter-related NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  14. Multi Instance approach • Pros • Each instance is independent • Some applications require separate instance • Helps reduce number of servers • Oracle performs well under multi-instance env • Cons • Each instance competes for system resources • No. of databases still remain same • Cannot optimize individual server or OS • Can only provide one level of availability, recoverability etc • Recommendations • Group databases with similar SLA • Multi domain Servers – useful for consolidation NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  15. Multi Instance on OS Cluster • Pros • Easy to deploy • Each instance is independent • Utilizes idle node in cluster • Provides high availability – failover capability • Cons • No. of databases still remain same • Complex environment to manage • Requires lots of testing • Recommendations • Ensure each node is not over 70% utilized NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  16. Oracle Instance Oracle Instance Cluster Interconnect S G A S G A Server Server Shared Storage What is Oracle 9i RAC ? NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  17. RAC Features • Availability • Failover • Scalability • No application changes • 4-6 Nodes Cluster • Manageability • No special training or tools • No partitioning necessary NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  18. Consolidation using RAC • DB Shared on existing RAC environment • Utilizes nodes in cluster more efficiently • Provides high availability for multiple apps • Support larger databases HR FIN HR FIN DB NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  19. Guidelines for consolidation • Understand the workload • Application dependencies – integration issues • SLA requirements for the application • Hardware/database limit – scalability • Performance expectations • Data Security • Use Resource Manager technology NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  20. Resource Manager • Enables DBA/SA to allocate system resources • Scheduling mechanism to track CPU time • Policy based administration • Operating System level • HP (PRM) • Solaris (Resource Mgr) • Database level • Oracle Database resource manager NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  21. OS level Resource Manager • Manage critical shared resources • CPU, Memory, Disk • Groups processes/threads into various classes • Allocate CPU time to classes • Grouping done by name, owner, process id • Supports dynamic reconfiguration • Ensures critical processes gets priority • Limitations: It does not understand DB processes NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  22. Oracle DB Resource Manager • Offered since Oracle 8i • Can guarantee users minimum resources • Can switch users between groups • Limit the degree parallelism • Distribute available CPU time to users • Can specify maximum number of sessions • Prevent execution when operation takes longer • Can change resource plan dynamically NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  23. Oracle DB Resource Manager • Resource plan • Specifies how resources are distributed among users • Resource consumer Group • Group user sessions • Can be changed dynamically • Resource plan directive • Assign consumer groups to resource plans NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  24. Oracle DB Resource Manager • Oracle Enterprise Manager • DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER PL/SQL Package • PLAN: Create,update,delete,cascade • CONSUMER_GROUP: Create,update,delete • PLAN_DIRECTIVE:Create,update,delete • PENDING_AREA:Create,validate,clear,submit • SWITCH:set_initial,switch groups • System Privileges: Grant, revoke – Package/Switch NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  25. Oracle 9i Resource Manager • Enhancements • Automatic consumer group switching • Maximum estimated execution time • Limit the number of concurrent users -Queue • Undo Quota – operation aborted NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  26. Resource Plan Consumer Group CPU-L1 CPU-L2 ONLINE 80% 0% REPORT 0% 60% ADMIN 10% 0% BATCH 0% 40% How to plan ? NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  27. Steps involved • Create resource Plans • Create resource consumer groups • Create resource plan directives • Grant privileges to users/role • Assign users to resource consumer groups • Specify a plan to be used by the database • Monitor the database environment NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  28. Step 1. Create Pending Area • Create a pending area DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PENDING.AREA; • Validate changes DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.VALIDATE_PENDING.AREA; • Clear changes DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CLEAR_PENDING.AREA; • Submit changes DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SUBMIT_PENDING.AREA; NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  29. Step 2. Create Resource Plans DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PLAN( PLAN => ‘plan_name’, COMMENT => ‘Comment here’); Example: DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PLAN( PLAN => ‘SIEBEL_PLAN’, COMMENT => ‘Plan for Siebel DB Server’); * Can update, delete a Plan. NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  30. Step 3. Create Resource consumer groups DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_CONSUMER_GROUP( CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘group_name’, COMMENT => ‘Comment here’); Example: DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_CONSUMER_GROUP( CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘OLTP’, COMMENT => ‘Group for OLTP users’); * Can update, delete consumer groups NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  31. Step 4. Resource plan directives DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PLAN_DIRECTIVE( PLAN => ‘Plan name’, GROUP_OR_SUBPLAN => ‘Name of consumer group or plan’, COMMENT => ‘Comment here’, CPU_P1 => ‘Specifies CPU % at 1st level …. UPTO 8’, PARALLEL_DEGREE_LIMIT_P1 => ‘Limit on Parallelism’); Example: DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PLAN_DIRECTIVE( PLAN => ‘SIEBEL_PLAN’, GROUP_OR_SUBPLAN => ‘OLTP’, COMMENT => ‘Plan directive for OLTP users’, CPU_P1 => 80, PARALLEL_DEGREE_LIMIT_P1 => 4); NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  32. Step 5A. Granting privileges DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER_PRIVS.GRANT_SWITCH_CONSUMER_GROUP( GRANTEE_NAME => ‘grantee name’, CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘Consumer group name’, GRANT_OPTION => ‘True/False’); Example: DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_CONSUMER_GROUP( GRANTEE_NAME => ‘NOEL’, CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘OLTP’, GRANT_OPTION => ‘TRUE’); NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  33. Step 5B. Initial setup for users DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SET_INITIAL_CONSUMER_GROUP( USER => ‘ user name’, CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘Initial consumer group’); Example: DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SET_INITIAL_CONSUMER_GROUP( USER => ‘NOEL’, CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘OLTP’); NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  34. Step 5C. Switching sessions/users DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SWITCH_CONSUMER_GROUP_FOR_SESS( SESSION_ID => ‘session_id’, SESSION_SERIAL => ‘session serial number’, CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘group_name’); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SWITCH_CONSUMER_GROUP_FOR_USER( USER => ‘User name’, CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘group_name’); Example: DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SWITCH_CONSUMER_GROUP_FOR_USER( USER => ‘NOEL’, CONSUMER_GROUP => ‘OLTP’); NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  35. Step 6. Activate the Plan • Persistent (init.ora) • RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN = “SIEBEL_PLAN” • Dynamic • ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN = “SIEBEL_PLAN”; • ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN=“”; NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  36. Step 7. Monitor the database • VIEWS/SYSTEM TABLES • V$RSRC_CONSUMER_GROUP • V$RSRC_PLAN • V$RSRC_CONSUMER_GROUP_CPU_MTH • V$RSRC_PLAN_CPU_MTH • V$SESSION • DBA_RSRC_CONSUMER_GROUPS • DBA_RSRC_CONSUMER_GROUP_PRIVS • DBA_RSRC_MANAGER_SYSTEM_PRIVS • DBA_RSRC_PLANS • DBA_RSRC_PLAN_DIRECTIVIES NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna

  37. Putting all together…. EXAMPLE…… BEGIN DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PENDING_AREA(); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PLAN(PLAN => 'CON_PLAN', COMMENT => 'COMMENT'); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_CONSUMER_GROUP(CONSUMER_GROUP => 'oltp', COMMENT => 'Resource consumer group for OLTP'); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_CONSUMER_GROUP(CONSUMER_GROUP => 'batch', COMMENT => 'BATCH'); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PLAN_DIRECTIVE(PLAN => 'CON_PLAN', GROUP_OR_SUBPLAN => 'oltp', COMMENT => 'OLTP SESS', CPU_P1 => 80); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PLAN_DIRECTIVE(PLAN => 'CON_PLAN', GROUP_OR_SUBPLAN => 'batch', COMMENT => 'BATCH',CPU_P2 => 100); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PLAN_DIRECTIVE(PLAN => 'CON_PLAN', GROUP_OR_SUBPLAN => 'OTHER_GROUPS',COMMENT => 'mandatory',CPU_P3 => 100); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.VALIDATE_PENDING_AREA(); DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SUBMIT_PENDING_AREA(); END; NOCOUG – Noel Yuhanna
