vServers are quickly created and altered

� vServers can be allocate all the vCPU and benefit from it

� vServers can be allocate almost all memory and benefit from it

� PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.53 Exalogic templates plan to use settings

and configuration from these test with 6vCPU and 22GB RAM

Our Journey and

Experience

Infrastructure

� Separate nodes for Web Server and Application Servers PeopleSoft Web, Application and

Batch server environments were migrated from IBM AIX platform to Oracle Linux on

Exalogic platform

� Half rack Exalogic 2.0

� 14 nodes for PeopleSoft

� 2 nodes for Oracle Content Management

Our Journey and Experience in Exalogic implementation

Environment


Exalogic platform

� Storage used by the application moved from IBM SAN to Oracle Exalogic

� No Downtime

� NFS 4 performs better when compared to NFS 3 (requires Exalogic 2.0)

� Installing SSL on Weblogic over Exalogic creates lot of overhead and performance impacts. SSL offloading

outside the web server (preferably on hardware load balancer) improves performance

� Install the binaries at a common location and deploy the applications multiple times (unlike installing the

binaries across all servers)

� Local SSD for frequently used files like cache files for better performance

� Local ZFS storage for all file related storage requirements than using an external storage

� Use JVM of 3 GB size for PeopleSoft without any performance impact

� Jrockit works better when it has built sufficient cache. Avoid frequent recycling of web server

Key Considerations

Features LeveragedChallenges

� Configuring Enterprise Manager

� NIS configuration - NIS master- lave sync-up issues ; hostname entries

� Frequent NFS –file I/O issues

Implementation Challenges and Features Leveraged


Features

LeveragedChallenges

� Consolidate and reduce server footprint

� Easier Scaling up

� Improved performance of Weblogic in Exalogic platform

� Tuxedo processing improvements

� Leveraged Oracle Traffic Director to distribute load using InfiniBand network

Server consolidation (Web, App, Batch,

Integration)60+ AIX blade servers removed using 12 Exalogic nodes

Application Maintenance window Reduced by 4 times

Improvements Post-Exa implementation


Effort required to support and maintain the

application environmentReduced by 50%

Ability to scale up

Sufficient head room available to scale up the system ( less than 30% utilization)

Virtualization readiness

Phase 1

• Migrate PeopleSoft Web, App, Integration and Batch Servers from IBM AIX blade servers to Oracle Exalogic

Phase 2

• Migrate the URL traffic from F5 Load Balancer to Oracle Traffic Director on Exalogic

Phase • Migrate PeopleSoft databases from IBM DB2 to Oracle on Exadata

Roadmap


Phase 3

Phase 4

• Implement Oracle Active Data Guard for DR in Active-Active setup.

Phase 5

• Implement Oracle EM pack for PeopleSoft applications and integrate with RUEI for SLA management
