ASM

• Oracle's best practices based on proven Oracle high availability technologies and recommendations.

• The goal of MAA is to achieve the optimal high availability architecture at the lowest cost and complexity.

MAA best practices span Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Applications and Grid

MAA leverages lower-cost servers and storage MAA is hardware and OS independent

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) A key concept

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture Servers/applications clustering

• GoalsAllow multiple servers to cooperate as a single system, eliminating downtime in case of hardware failure Protect applications (Oracle Database instances, Siebel Gateway, Web Server, …) within a clusterProvide an easy way to manage and automate applications operation (start/stop/check)Define complex rules and dependencies between clustered application/processes

• Solution• Oracle Clusterware (CRS) is a flexible and low cost solution

No need to purchase additional software Easy to install & to manageSupports 100 nodes on all OS’ certified for Oracle RACSingle-vendor support

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture IBM System z leverages CRS technology

Oracle CRS allows protection of Linux images running on IBM System z and located on

different physical boxes different LPAR different Virtual Machines a mix of each above

Oracle CRS leverages IBM System z key capabilitiesAchieve ultra fast and ultra secure inter-node communications by using System z virtual networks (Hipersocket, Virtual Guest-LAN, Virtual switches)Dynamically adjust cluster members resources (add/remove memory or CPU) Dynamically adjust cluster members priorities depending on workload constraints Automate addition/removal of cluster nodes using System z virtualization capabilities (provisioning)

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture Storage management simplification

• GoalsEliminate need for conventional file system and 3rd party volume manager Provide storage scalability and reliability Improve performance and data security

• SolutionOracle Automatic Storage Manager (ASM) is a Logical Volume Manager that provides the database administrator with a simple storage management interface

Manage storage as dynamic devices spools (add/remove devices dynamically during normal IT operation)Provide clustered access to storageManage storage from Oracle Enterprise Manager (Web-based interface, centralized management)

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture IBM System z leverages ASM technology

• Oracle ASM supports all type of storage available on Linux on IBM System z

Traditional DASD devices (ECKD) with FICON attachmentsOpen standard SCSI devices within a SAN infrastructure with FCP attachmentsNew FICON Express 8 at 2, 4 or 8 GbpsVirtual SCSI devices from to SVCz/VM Disks (Dedicated real devices, Virtual Minidisks, FBA-emulated Devices)

• IBM System z leverages Oracle ASM flexibilityTake advantage of the System z I/O subsystem reliability (redundancy, error detection/correction, …)Use z/VM storage virtualization capabilities

Share or clone devicesDynamic storage allocation

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture Databases Availability improvement

• Goals Avoid data unavailability: ensure business continuity during

planned/unplanned outage Ensure Database scalability Improve performance Leverage Oracle Grid computing

• Solution• Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) is an option of the Oracle

Database Enterprise Edition. Oracle RAC is a cluster database with a shared cache architecture

Implementation of Active/Active cluster Databases Add/remove instances on-demand Zero-downtime maintenance with “rolling upgrades” Workload management (load balancing, instances segregation)

IBM System z leverages RAC technology

• Achieve Databases High Availability by associating the most reliable hardware with Oracle’s HA technology

• Leverages RAC scalability• System z dynamic resources management and add/remove resources

as your workload growth/decrease: CoD, CBU, dynamic resources allocation… (vertical scalability)

• Use System z Logical Partitioning or z/VM virtualization to add/remove RAC instances (horizontal scalability)

• Use z/VM virtualization to achieve maximum infrastructure flexibility (server provisioning, resources sharing, dynamic allocation, virtual infrastructure)

• Use System z Hipersocket to enhance the performances of your RAC cluster

Phase IV: Database High-Availability Improve 24/7 business continuity

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture IT Management Simplification

• Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) with Oracle Grid Control provides a single, integrated interface for the top down administration and monitoring of applications and systems in an Oracle Grid

• Monitor resource allocations and utilization • Provides alerts and takes corrective action • Deploy components, patches and agents• Automate repetitive tasks

• Oracle OEM supports the wider Oracle ecosystem and 3rd party technologies and software.

• Install OEM anywhere and monitor any type of supported platforms and software

Customized Virtual Server provisioning Accelerate and secure Oracle Solutions deployment

• Audelium is an IBM framework, used to automate Servers provisioning in a z/VM environment Fully customized Linux Servers with embedded middleware (WebSphere,

Oracle products, …) Fully customized z/VM Systems (with Guests definitions, Virtual networks, …)

• Audelium leverages System z & z/VM Virtualization capabilities: Use z/Architecture Virtualization features Use of DIRMAINT for automated Guests definition Use of Flashcopy or DDR to clone system images Dedicate or share resources (Minidisks, Virtual Networks,…)

• Audelium is based on Open Source development tools (Shell scripts, Java, …) and allow user-defined functions to be added in Audelium for specific provisioning requests

• Audelium uses pre-defined system images called REFERENCE SYSTEMS to generate new systems

• Audelium administrator creates provisioning templates (name of REF System, disks to clone/share, definition of CPU, memory, network devices, …) called PROJECTS. All provisioning requests belong to a PROJECT.

Agenda




In the next 12 months…Oracle Cloud Computing

• Oracle has played a pioneering role in making Grid Computing relevant to enterprises with ground breaking products such as Oracle Real Applications Clusters (RAC), Automatic Storage Management (ASM), and Storage Grid.

• More recently, Oracle has brought Grid Computing to middleware with the Application Grid approach to infrastructure.

• These products/technologies make the enterprise IT infrastructure elastic so that it can grow incrementally without any theoretical upper limit, as well as provide the flexibility to move resources around in order to meet dynamic business priorities.

• In September 2008, Oracle introduced new offerings that allow enterprises to benefit from the developments taking place in the area of Cloud Computing.
