  1. WebLogic on Oracle Database Appliance: Combining high availability and simplicity Frances Zhao-Perez Cloud Application Foundation Product ManagementSimon Haslam Principal Consultant, Veriton

  2. Program Agenda • WebLogic on Oracle Database Appliance overview • Virtualization Platform • Lifecycle Operations on Oracle Database Appliance • Configuration and Management • WebLogic on ODA customer case study • Q&A

  3. Oracle Database Appliance with WebLogic Server Simple. Reliable. Affordable.

  4. Oracle Database Appliance with WebLogic Server • A simple, affordable and reliable, low maintenance appliance with a highly available WebLogic Server and Oracle RAC deployment • Simplified provisioning/install • Just hours to a best-of-breed HA Web virtualized application and database infrastructure • Simplified investment model • Capacity on Demand with virtualized pricing as your workload changes • Simplified maintenance • Integrated patching – one-throat-to-choke Oracle Database RAC

  5. 2 x dual-socket Oracle Linux servers 32 Intel Xeon processor X5675 cores 512 GB main memory 18 TB raw disk storage 800 GB solid state storage Support for additional 1 x 2RU storage expansion shelf Direct-attached 4 x 2.5” 200 GB SSD for redo 20 x 2.5” 900 GB HDD for data Built-in redundancy Server, storage, network, power and cooling Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Real Application Clusters (RAC) RAC One Node Single instance Oracle grid infrastructure Oracle WebLogic 11g or 12c Active GridLink for RAC Oracle Linux Oracle Appliance Manager Built-In Reliability Redundant Hardware Reliable Software

  6. <Insert Picture Here> Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform

  7. What is the ODA Virtualized Platform? Expanding the ODA with Additional Functionality • Option to install Oracle VM functionality on the Oracle Database Appliance • Options: bare metal or virtualized platform* • Oracle VM is used to partition each server and host multiple workloads • Provides a solution with • Efficient sharing of the platform with one or more applications • Capacity on demand pricing for database and applications • Grow and shrink VCPUs • Isolation between database, middle tier and application workloads *WebLogic requires virtualized option

  8. How Does the Virtualized Platform Work? Single Server to Manage Database, Middle Tier and Applications Oracle Database Appliance • Database runs in the ‘ODA Base’domain to provide native disk performance • WebLogic, Software Load Balancer run in the Domain Us • Domains and CPU pools provide application isolation • Appliance Manager provides: • VM template and domain management Node 1 Node 2 Domain U Domain U Domain U Domain U Domain U Domain U DOM 0 VM Storage Repository ODA Base DOM 0 VM Storage Repository ODA Base • Appliance Manager • Grid Infrastructure • Database • Appliance Manager • Grid Infrastructure • Database

  9. How Are WebLogic and OTD Deployed? • Deploy VMs to run WebLogic Server, Software Load Balancer • HA VIP provides single entry point for application clients with isolation • Oracle VM 3.1.1 supported templates • Applications Solution Platform Oracle Database Appliance HA VIP Node 2 Node 1 Software Load Balancer Software Load Balancer App VMs App VMs WebLogic WebLogic DOM 1 ODA Base DOM0 DOM0 ODA Base • Appliance Manager • Grid Infrastructure • Database • Appliance Manager • Grid Infrastructure • Database

  10. <Insert Picture Here> Oracle Database Appliance Customer Case Study:Veriton & Simplyhealth

  11. Veriton / Simon Haslam • Small, UK-based Oracle partner • Design & build Highly Available Oracle Fusion Middleware systems

  12. Simplyhealth • Leading UK heath insurance firm • looking after the health of over two million individuals • healthcare provider for 11,000 companies • Company’s roots date back nearly 140 years • ~800 agents in 4 call centers • ~2700 EJB calls and 1100 page requests per minute

  13. Drivers for Change • Database upgrade: RAC 10g  11g • Hardware EOL: HP servers & FC SAN • Elapsed time for batch processing

  14. Attractions of ODA • Faster deployment • Simplified patch management • Fewer concerns about compatibility (e.g. firmware) • Database + middleware in an “all in one” box • Competitively priced

  15. Other Considerations • Already has modern NAS / NFS storage tier • A mixture of VMware and Oracle VM Server in use • Simplyhealth decided to run a 4 week Proof of Concept (POC)

  16. How the POC worked Batch tests Create database Import data Provision:virtualized image + ODA base 4 node cluster & deployment WebLogic & OTD images

  17. POC: Hardware / Database Findings • ODA limited to 2 networks so some rework will be required to fit in with existing 10 GbE, 1 GbEand backup network • Copper 10GbE so needed to buy new switch SFPs • Some instability (3 hangs) – possibly due to faulty interconnect cable? • ODA X3-2 hardware was quick, e.g. batch processing in 2.4h compared to nearly >9h on old hardware in production – very confident that there won’t be performance issues

  18. POC: WebLogic on ODA Findings • Initial configuration was straightforward & quick, e.g. WLS configuration: ~45 mins (check!) for 8 VMs (5 WLS, 3 OTD) and RAC database • WebLogic domain configured to best practice (separate admin traffic, etc) • The current one cluster limitation for WebLogic would be OK for production server but not test • Will build custom OVM templates for OFM • Undecided on load balancing/web-tier – plenty of options

  19. Outcome • Simplyhealth have bought 2 ODAs • Plan: production migration to RAC 11g by Oct 20 • Using virtualized ODA only • WebLogic on ODA: probably part of 11g to 12c migration project

  20. Proof of Concept Q & A

  22. WebLogic on ODA Customer ExperienceInstallation and Provisioning Designed In Download DB, WebLogic VMs, Appliance Manager from MOS or E-Delivery Run Oracle Appliance Manager Run Oracle WebLogicServer Configuration Install ODA in customer Datacenter     Customer installs ODA HW, maps out networking & topology • Choice of two distributions • WebLogic 11g (10.3.6) or • WebLogic 12c (12.1.1) WebLogic, Software Load Balancer VMs provisioned; applianceis ready to use! Database RAC Cluster Setup

  23. WebLogic on ODA Patching Experience Apply Patches and PSUs Patching Complete Download WebLogic ODA PSU Distribution    Customer downloads from MOS PSUs for WLS, OTD, JDK, JeOS, & OVM Templates Apply PSUs to the WebLogic VMs Apply Patches to the VM Templates and Guest OS Restart VMs and WebLogic Server

  24. <Insert Picture Here> Oracle Database Appliance Oracle WebLogic Configuration for Oracle Database Appliance

  25. Configuring WebLogic Server • Configuring WebLogic cluster with option of 2, 4, or 8 nodes • Using VIP for software load balancer and HA group configuration • The configuration setting can be customized post-provisioning

  26. WebLogic Service Configuration • WebLogic Data Source configuration with option of Generic, Multi Data Source and GridLink Data Source • GridLink Data Source used for JMS persistence and TLOG storage • JMS distributed destination can be configured • Additional services to be provisioned • Summary of configuration can be saved
