OverviewIn2007, Oracle formallyannouncedOracle11g—thenewestversionof itsenterpriseRDBMSflagshipproduct. SteadyadoptionofOracle11g isexpectedoverthenext6to12months—based

onhistoricalpatterns, IDCresearch,andcustomerdatagatheredbyHPCustomerFocusedTesting(CFT)Oracle technical forums.The HP CFT Team previously delivered a well-received project that focused on what was then a newfeatureofOracle10gknownas AutomaticStorageManagement(ASM).Formoreinformation,seehttp://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA1-4941ENW.pdf?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN.

The purpose of  ASM is to do the following: •  ProvideacomprehensivevolumemanagementenvironmentdeliveredentirelyfromwithinOracle

• Provide a unified lookand feelacrossalloperatingsystems.•  Eliminate theneed foroperatingsystem-specific volume managers. Oneofthekeyfeaturesof ASMisitsabilitytostripedataacrossLUNs,whichissimilartofunctionalit

In thedatawarehouse/decisionsupportsystem (DSS)benchmark,weruneightconcurrentuserswithuser-defined,query-intensivestatements.EVAconfigurationThreeEVAconfigurationsare tested. Configuration1,shown inFigure2, isavariationofthebestpracticeof thisproject’spredecessor. InConfiguration1,eachdatabase’smain/onlinefilesareplacedinthefirstdiskgroup,whichusesmorephysicaldrivesforimprovedperformancetotheonlinfiles. EachLUN is Vraid1. Backupfilesarelocatedintheseconddiskgroupon Vraid5LUNs. Theseconddiskgroup isaccessedfarlessfrequentlyand,therefore,hasfewerspindles.

Figure 2. Configuration 1

SomecustomersmightpreferConfiguration1,because itseparates thedifferentworkload types. Forexample, theOLTPworkloadofsmallrandomread/writeaccessoccurs in thefirstdiskgroup, whilethelargesequentialwriteworkload(archivelogs)occursinthesecond(backup)diskgroup. Abenefit of Configuration1 is thatcustomersmightsavemoneyon theseconddiskgroupbyusing lowerperformancedrives,since theseconddiskgroup isinfrequentlyaccessed if theredo logsare sized inaccordancewithOraclebestpractices. ote

•   What is thebestway toconfigureEVA8100withmultipleOracledatabasesrunningaDSSbenchmark?

•   What is thebestway toconfigureEVA8100withmultipleOracledatabasesrunningamixedworkloadbenchmark?

 We test theconfigurationswithOLTPandDSS inseparatecycles,which leads to theresults in thispaper. Customersrunningmixedworkloadscandrawconclusionsderivedfromour independentworkload testing. Whendefiningstoragebestpractices, it is important tohaveenoughworkloadon thestoragearray. Thiscansometimesbecounterintuitive,sincepropersizingof thedatabasesystemglobalarea (SGA)can result inadecrease instorage throughputasmoreworkoccurs in theserver’smemory. Asacompromisebetweentestingrealisticcustomerenvironmentsandworkloadsthathave

defining storage best practices, we deliberately choose to minimize the SGA to increase the storage

workload. However,customersmustunderstand therelationshipbetweenSGAsizingandstorageusage. CustomerswhowanttofreeEVAresourcesforotherapplicationsshouldlookcloselyatSGA
