#Creating a Volume Group using a PV/hdisk2

#mklv -t jfs2 -y datavglvol1 datavg 40#Creating a Logical Volume datavglvol1 of size 40 PPs

Creates a LV datavglvol1 of size 10GB (40*256MB)

To check the Physical Partition Size,do a lsvg VGName|grep "PP Size"

#crfs -v jfs2 -d datavglvol1 -m /oracle -p rw -A yes -a agblksize=4096

(Creating a File System /oracle)

#mount /oracle

#df g /oracle

Mirroring a root disk

Confirm the disk that has the OS boot image by #lsvg rootvg -l

Check if #bootlist -m normal -o shows a blv=hd5 for hdiskx

To mirror it to hdisky,

#mirrorvg -S rootvg hdiskx hdisky

#bosboot -ad hdisky

#bootlist -m normal hdiskx hdisky

#bootlist -m normal -o

hdiskxblv=hd5

hdiskyblv=hd5

For a Symmetrix LUN

On a Server with Symmetrix LUNs,

Install EMC SymmetriX ODM and powerpath packages.

Confirm the installation using

lslpp -L "EMC*"

lslpp -l|grep -i power

To Synchronize the Symmetrix Database with the Server Device Configuration Database,

powermt config

powermt save

cfgmgr -v

powermt display dev=all

and create the appropriate Volumes.

NOTE:

If the powerpath package hasnt been installed on the Server, which would be if multipathing is not being utilized,

cd /opt/emc/SYMCLI/V6.5.0/bin

./syminq

get the power disk LUN ID's and appropriately create the VG from the disks.

For an IBM DS LUN,

Install the following sddpcm and ODM packages, (#smitty installp)

devices.sddpcm.53.rte &

devices.fcp.disk.ibm.mpio.rte

do a #cfgmgr v

#pcmpath query device

and create the Volumes.

Also Verify if pcmpath query device is showing the desired number of paths to all the disks.

Kernel parameter Changes

Save/Restore All Tuning Parameters

Tuning Scheduler & Memory Load Control Parameters

Tuning Virtual Memory Manager, File System and Logical Volume Manager Params

Tuning Network Option Parameters

Tuning NFS Option Parameters

Tuning IO Parameters

Tuning RAS Parameters

Tuning Scheduler/Memory Load Control Tunable parametersmaxuproc

To display the current value

lsattr -E -l sys0 -a maxuproc

To Change the value,

chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc=NewValue

Change takes effect immediately and is preserved over boot.

But if the value is reduced, then it goes into effect only after a system boot.

Diagnosis: Users cannot fork any additional processes.

Configuring Asynchronous IO

Following are the parameters that need to be tuned to configure the System to us Asynchronous IO.

maxreqs

Purpose: Specifies the maximum number of asynchronous I/O requests that can be outstanding at any one time.

Values: Default: 4096; Range: 1 to AIO_MAX (/usr/include/sys/limits.h)

To Display: lsattr -E -l aio0 -a maxreqs

To Change: chdev -l aio0 -a maxreqs=NewValue Change is effective after reboot and is permanent.

Tuning: This includes requests that are in progress, as well as those that are waiting to be started. The maximum number of asynchronous I/O requests cannot be less than the

value of AIO_MAX, as defined in the /usr/include/sys/limits.h file, but can be greater. It would be appropriate for a system with a high volume of asynchronous I/O to have a maximum number of asynchronous I/O requests larger than AIO_MAX.

maxservers

Purpose: Specifies the maximum number of AIO kprocs per processor.

Values: Default: 10 per processor

Display: lsattr -E -l aio0 -a maxservers

Change: chdev -l aio0 -a maxservers=NewValue Change is effective after reboot and is permanent.

Tuning: This value limits the number of concurrent asynchronous I/O requests. The value should be about the same as the expected number of concurrent AIO requests.

minservers

Purpose: Specifies the number of AIO kprocs that will be created when the AIO kernel extension is loaded.

Values: Default: 1

Display: lsattr -E -l aio0 -a maxservers

Change: chdev -l aio0 -a minservers=NewValue Change is effective after reboot and is permanent.

Tuning: Making this a large number is not recommended, because each process takes up some memory. Leaving this number small is acceptable in most cases because AIO will create additional kprocs up to maxservers as needed.

Paging Space Size

Purpose: The amount of disk space required to hold pages of working storage.

Values: Default: configuration-dependent; Range: 32 MB to n MB for hd6, 16 MB to n MB for non-hd6

To Display the current paging space size,

lsps -a

To change the paging space size,

#mkps a n s 24 rootvg hdisk0

Creates a paging space of 24 LPs on hdisk0

-aSpecifies that the paging space is configured at subsequent restarts.

-nActivates the paging space immediately

To increase or decrease the size of the paging space,

#chps s 12 paging00

(Increases the size of the paging space paging00 by 12 LPs)

or

#smitty pgsp

Paging Space


List All Paging Spaces

Add Another Paging Space

Change / Show Characteristics of a Paging Space

Remove a Paging Space

Activate a Paging Space

Deactivate a Paging Space

Change: Change is effective immediately and is permanent. Paging space is not necessarily put into use immediately, however.

Diagnosis: Run: lsps -a. If processes have been killed for lack of paging space, monitor the situation with the psdanger() subroutine.

Tuning: If it appears that there is not enough paging space to handle the normal workload, add a new paging space on another physical volume or make the existing paging spaces larger.

Raw LV Creation

After the LUN's from Storage have been assigned and are visible to the host,

Create a Volume Group.

Say vg20d has been created.

To create the raw device,

#mklv -t raw -y vg20d_8192m_01 vg20d 8192M

After creating the raw LV,

give the LV ownership to oracle:dba

#chown oracle:dba /dev/rvg20d_8192m_01

To check the No. of Physical Processors currently Available,

# lsdev -Cc processor|grep Available

proc0 Available 00-00 Processor














NOTE: This could be the Physical Processors or Virtual Processor (In case the LPAR is assigned Processors from the Shared pool)

To check is multithreading is enabled,

#smtctl

.

.

.

proc2 has 2 SMT threads.

Bind processor 2 is bound with proc2

Bind processor 3 is bound with proc2

# prtconf|grep -i proc

Processor Type: PowerPC_POWER5

Number Of Processors: 14

Processor Clock Speed: 2302 MHz

NOTE: If an internal tape drive is not available on the System,

Take it on to a Server which can be later configured as a NIM Master.

Ensure that the host entries of both, the Server whose backup is to be taken and the Server on which the backup is being stored, are present in the /etc/hosts file of each other.

Start all the NFS Services, If they arent Active

#startsrc g nfs

On both the servers, ensure that #ulimit a is set to unlimited.

(edit the /etc/security/limits file)

default:

fsize = -1

core = -1

cpu = -1

data = -1

rss = -1

stack = -1

nofiles = -1

stack_hard = -1

.

.

.

Note:

Client

= NIM Client

Master Server = NIM server

On the Client,

#cd /

#mkdir backupfs

#cd backupfs

#mkdir logs

#chmod R 777 /backupfs

create a /backupfs mount point on the Master Server, spacious enough to store the mksysbs of a sufficient no. of clients.

On the Client,

// the Server whose mksysb is to be taken

Mount the Master Servers /backupfs mount point onto the Clients /backupfs directory

#mount 10.77.8.102:/backupfs /backupfs

#nohup mksysb -i -e -X /backupfs/`hostname`_`date +"%d-%h-%y"` > /backupfs/logs/`hostname`_`date +"%d-%h-%y"`.log &

After this is done,

Verify the logs directory (/backupfs/logs) which would show the mksysb Completion logs on the Master Server.

Eg:

b) After booting the os

Checking all the mount point are mounted properly

#bdf

#bdf |wc -l ( comparing with old output)

#cat /tmp/bdf_oldout |wc -l

#date (checking date and time)

#uptime

#ps -ef|grep ntp ( checking ntp deamon has started or not if the service is not started )

#/sbin/int.d/xntpd start

#ps -ef |grep cron ( check cron deamon has started or not if not need to start the cron)

#/sbin/init.d/cron start

#cat /etc/services

#cat /etc/hosts ( checking the host entris)

#hostname ( checking the hostname)

#ifconfig lan0 ( checking the ip address )

#netstat -rn ( checking the gateway)

#ls -lrt / ( checking the ownership)

Note: After checking all the above steps we will inform to DBA team to start the database

Set Parameter

(Note: Before changing the parameter take the backup of vmunix and build)

#kmtune (To check all OS parameter)

#kmtune |grep nfile

Need to check weather the parameter is static or dynamic, if the parameter is static reboot is required.

For Static Parameter

#kmtune |grep semmap (Note : where semmap is parameter name)

semmap 8122 - 8122

#cp /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.prev

#tar -cvf /tmp/build.tar build

#kmtune -s parametername=new value

#kmtune -d

parameter name 256 - 1024

Where 1024 is the new parameter, it will get effect in the next reboot

then build the new kernel

#mk_kernel

#kmupdate ( need to take reboot)

For Dynamic Parameter

#kmtune -s parameter name=new value

To update the new value

#kmtune -u

( Note : No need to take reboot for dynamic parameter)

Check free disk

# cd /opt/emc/SYMCLI/V6.5.0/bin

#./syminq > /tmp/syminq_output

Need to verify with vgdisplay, lvmtab and fstab

#vgdisplay -v > /tmp/vgdisplay_out

#vgdisplay -v |grep "PV Name" > /tmp/all_pvs

#strings /etc/lvmtune > /tmp/lvmtab_out

Additional Space RequirementAdding Space on CRM server

1. Check the request is received with complete requirement, approved & remedy call has been logged for request.

2. Check for the total requirement in each category like data chunks or index chunks.

3. Check if required space is available in existing same type (Data/Index) volume group.

4. Note last sequence of the chunk created in the VG where new chunk is to be created.

5. Create logical volume (chunk) using following command.

mklv t raw y chunkname (next sequence) vgname size

e.g. mklv t raw y vg15d_8192m_123 vg15d 8192M

Logical volume type (must be raw always for CRM)

The naming convention should be same like vgname_size_sequence

Volume Group Name

Size of the chunk requested

6. Repeat the above command as many times no of chunks required.

7. Care should be taken to to use data vg (naming convention vg15d etc. ) for data chunks & index vg (naming convention vg15x etc.) for index chunks.

8. It will create 2 files in dev directory.

e.g. /dev/vg15d_8192m_123 & /dev/rvg15d_8192m_123

Change ownership of raw chunk with oracle user and group.

e.g. chown oracle:dba /dev/rvg15d_8192m_123

9. Inform requestor on mail with names of the respective chunks created.

10. Close the request in remedy tool.

If free space & devices are not available on server?

In this case forward request to storage team for assigning required disk devices with no. of BCV devices (if required) for allocation. Follow above steps post getting confirmation about disk addition from storage team.

Post Completion tasks.

Provide modified VG details to BCV team for updating existing DG configuration.

Adding space on existing server

1. Check the request is received with complete requirement, approved & remedy call has been logged for request.

2. The space requirement is of the type of extending existing mount point or new mount point.

3. If existing mount point extension then

a. Check is requested space is already available in Volume group.

b. If space is not available on VG check if free devices are available on server.

c. If yes then extend VG with required no of disks.

d. Extend the logical volume of related file system with requested space.

4. If new mount point creation then check usage of the new mount point (will be used for data files, index files or application files). Check if requested space is available on any of the existing VG of same type.

5. If space is available then create mount point with requested parameters like space, ownership to particular user, mount name etc.

6. If space is not available then add extend VG with available free devices on system. Then add new logical volume & mount it with requested parameters like space, ownership to particular user, mount name etc.

7. Send the confirmation mail to requestor & close ticket in Remedy.
