Configuring Oracle DB for SPARCSockets / Cores / Threads

• SPARC64 VII+ processor (4 cores/8 threads per processor)

• SPARC T3 processor (16 cores/128 threads per processor)

• Huge number of threads in a single system image

• Support high-level of parallelism and concurrency

• “cpu_count = #threads!!”

Configuring Oracle DB for M-seriesDSS considerations

• Use large pages for the PGA• 8K is default... 4M is recommended

_realfree_heap_pagesize_hint=4194304

• Increase message size for parallel query• Default is too low “1500”

parallel_execution_message_size = 16384

• Parallel query• Query slaves = 2x number of threads• 10gR2 : Parallelism set on per table basis• 11gR2 : Auto parallelism will select based on resources...

queueing can help as well.

Oracle Database on SPARC ServersBest Practices – File System

• Storing data on SPARC Servers• Which to use?

• ASM vs ZFS vs UFS Direct I/O vs VxFS,...

• Best Practice: Use ASM

• ASM: Oracle Automated Storage Management

• ZFS: Zettabyte File System

• Solaris only

• UFS: Unix File System

• VxFx: Veritas File System

Impact of Virtualization on Performance

• Possible overhead from virtualization software• Extra OS layer• Hypervisor• Emulation• More OS instances

• Virtual I/O instead of direct attach I/O• Virtual networks• Virtualization management software

23

SPARC Virtualization OverheadVirtualization Can Affect Performance

• Dynamic Domains• Hardware partitions with 0% overhead• Managed from separate XSCF service processor• No sharing between domains

• Solaris Containers• Light weight software partitions with 0-5% cpu overhead

• Oracle VM Server SPARC (LDOMs)• Hypervisor based with 0-5% overhead

• Competitive Virtualization Solutions• 0-40% cpu overhead

24

Virtualization Best Practices

• Choose partitioning scheme carefully• RAS, management, security, isolation, granularity

• Virtualization may not be necessary• Many apps run well together• Solaris scheduling may be sufficient• Customers run dozens of Oracle instances on single server

• Use Direct I/O for Oracle VM SPARC• Assign physical PCIe card to VM (new in OVM 2.0)• Configure at least 4 vCPU’s or I/O domain• Configure at least 4 vDisks in OVM guest domain• Stripe vDisks if possible

25

Domain Resizing and Oracle DatabaseTaking Advantage of Changing Resources

• Resize partitions to meet workload changes

• Add CPUs/mem to domain

• DB “knows” about resize• Reconfiguration coordination

manager

• DB can use new resources

• No Oracle DB reboot

Server and Storage DiscontinuityCPUs Have Become I/O Starved

• Moore’s Law has out-stripped improvements to disk drive technology by two orders of magnitude during the last decade

• Today’s servers are hopelessly unbalanced between the CPUs need for data and the HDDs ability to keep up

HDD vs. CPU Relative Performance Improvement

FlashFire for Database Acceleration

• F5100 Flash Array: 1.92 TB• 1.6M random read IOPS• 400us service times• 17 GB/Sec reads (Gen2 I/O)• 1 RU, 300 watts

• F20 PCI Flash Accelerator: 96 GB• 100K random read IOPS• 400us service times• 1 GB/sec reads• Half height, low profile PCIe

• Both use nearly identical SATA Flash Modules• Enterprise SLC Flash: 1 million erase cycles• Unique Write Persistence, Wear Leveling, and Performance
