Customer Consolidation Workflow

- 11 -

• Standardize on Product Platform

• Rationalization and Simplification

• Achieve Consistency in Deployment and Enable Platform for DBaaS

• Build Platform With High Availability in the Design

• Enable Platform for Agility in Application Development and Deployment

Goals for InitiativeStabilization/Consolidation – Through Rationalization, Simplification, and Standardization

13

• Determine what consolidation and rationalization means- No big ROI in Simple Server consolidation

- Combine Server and Component Consolidation (reduce instance count)

- Upgrade and standardize the stack

Before you Virtualize …

Rationalize, Standardize, and then Consolidate

- 14 -

• Rationalization and Simplification Management

– Simplify and standardize on set of stack versions (Oracle &

Linux)

– Consistency through Simplification

• Backups

• Monitoring

• Management (stats gathering, space management, etc..)

– Standardized on Oracle Enterprise Manager for Monitoring

Stabilization – Through Rationalization, Simplification, and Standardization – Common Theme

- 15 -

• Oracle Grid Infrastructure-RAC 12c or Oracle Restart 12c

• Oracle Database 12cR1 or 12cR2 with Multitenant feature

• VMware vSphere (5.5U3 and 6.0)

The stack, the full stack and nothing but the stack

- 16 -

• A standalone Server version of Oracle Grid Infrastructure (no license)

• Improves the availability of Oracle database and various Oracle components

• Biggest Value-add -> It provides intra-VM HA

– If there’s a Oracle component failure it can be automatically restarted

– Include pullup, pushdown dependencies and relationships

– Starts up and shutdown all components in correct order

– Fully compliments VMware HA - provides VM level HA

The stack, the full stack and nothing but the stackOracle Restart

- 17 -

• In this architecture, multitenant container database holds many pluggable

databases.

• Share common memory and background processes.

• Significantly improves database consolidation density enforces standardization

• Offering similar benefits to schema-based consolidation but with none of the

major application changes required by that approach.

The stack, the full stack and nothing but the stackOracle Multitenancy

• Hot Clones

– Oracle 12.2 Multitenant option, fully integrates the concept of “hot clones” with

the ability to perform on-line cloning of PDBs.

• With hot clones, the source database is still open for read-write mode.

• All PDB clones in Oracle 12.2 are hot clones and will be referred to as

clones.

• Read-Only Refreshable PDBs

– On Oracle 12.2, PDBs can be cloned while the source PDB is online.

– With Refreshable PDBs, we can have the PDB refresh data from the source

PDB with delta changes, since the last refresh automatically (define in nnn

Minutes) or on demand.

The stack, the full stack and nothing but the stackOracle Multitenancy – Key Features to leverage

RU and RUR for 12.2

• In July 2017 Oracle will release

• a Database RU ( = Proactive Bundle Patches (BPs)),

• a Grid Infrastructure RU,

• and an OJVM RU.

• No More PSUs or Bundle Patches for the 12.2.0.1 release

• The first RUR ( = Patch Set Updates (PSUs)) for 12.2.0.1 is planned for

October 2017

• October 2017, the 2nd RU for Oracle Database 12.2.0.1 is expected

• January 2018, the 3rd RU is expected and the 2nd RUR is expected

• Speculations: Are to release only 2 RURs per RU

• PDB Hot Clone

– Online test master instantiation

• PDB Refresh

– Incremental refresh of clone with latest data

Customer Example of Standardized on sizes

VM Type VM Sizing (vCPU and Memory) SGA sizing (SGA & HugePage Setting)

Small 2 vCPU and 8GB 6GB SGA

Basic Medium 4 vCPU and 64GB 58GB SGA

Large 8+ vCPUs and 128GB 100GB+

• Size VM for only minimal/appropriate number of CPUs and memory.

• If exact workload is not known, start with fewer vCPUs and increase as needed.

• Use Capacity Planner to analyze current environment and provide resource utilization metrics

for sizing.

• Overcommitting CPU is practical, as long as ESXi host is not saturated or while VMs are not

bottlenecked on system resources.

• For lower-tiered workloads, reasonable over commitment can increase aggregate throughput

and maximize license savings - The consolidation ratio varies depending on workloads.

- 23 -

• Followed all the Oracle – VMware best practices as per the following

• NUMA adherence

• vCPUs + Memory standard sizes

• Noop IO scheduler

• Lazy-eager thick disks

• ASM

• Datastore management

• Various methods to deliver DBaaS

• Model will be driven by the granularity of service being deployed and technology

used to deploy

– Deploy Linux VM and install Oracle software, and instantiate CDB

– Deploy new CDB on existing VM

– Deploy new PDB on existing CDB on existing VM

• In all cases, have a template-tized provisioning mode for faster MTTDeploy

– VM templates

– DBCA for CBD setup

– DBCA for fresh PDB enablement, or clone from baseline seed PDB

Use #1Consolidation/DBaaS using 12.2 Multitenant and Oracle Restart

- 27 -

• Define PDB placement policy

– Organize PDBs into CDB by Operational or Business alignment

• Evaluate consolidation density thresholds of DBaaS, or “degree of fullness”.

– Density of VMs/node.

– Density of CDBs/VM.

– Density of PDBs/VM

– CDB/PDB organization. Are PDBs organized into specific CDBs?

• Evaluate Noisy neighbor management and exception handling

• Operational

• Management

• Performance

• Security

Considerations - Mobility in Virtualized environment, which mechanism fits best for the scenario

Object Technology-Utility Use Case

VM VMware vMotion Move VM to another ESXi host in cases of unplanned or preparation planned outages

CDB Traditional Database Migration tools; e.g., Data Pump, RMAN, TTS, etc.

Migrate CDB to another ESXi host or bare-metal host in preparation for planned outages or system upgrades.

PDB In Oracle Database 12.2, there are numerous [online] methods to move PDBs between CDB; whether these PDB will be on the same server or different servers:

• Hot Clone• PDB Relocate

Migrate PDB to another ESXi host or bare-metal host in preparation for noisy neighbor contained, planned outages, or system upgrades.
