Special Forums UNIX and Linux Applications Suggestion on running critical Oracle DBs on OVM Post 303028477 by gull04 on Wednesday 9th of January 2019 05:04:58 AM

Hi Solaris_1977,

As Peasant says you can cap the cpu on zones, to limit licence costs - this model is not accepted for VM Ware. The full CPU count is licensed for each Oracle Instance (we know this from experience and it was a real ouch moment!), so when we were audited about six months into a project - there was a serious headless chicken moment due to the increase in costs.

Running zoned multiple instances of Oracle inside an LDOM means that without capping at a zone level, each instance has to be licensed for the whole LDOM capping the zones means you can control the licensing costs better.

If you have the databases covered with log shipping for Geo resilience and Clusters for Local resilience I don't really see how you could improve much on that. Unless of course someone wants to add a zero to your budget to get that extra point 9 uptime.

The Oracle license model is difficult to understand some times in my experience, looking at the oracle site for any length of time and you seem to find contradictory information - so I just leave all that to the Architects now and they tell me what I have to build for them.

Regards

Gull04

NAME
Jifty::DBI::Handle::Oracle - An oracle specific Handle object SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a subclass of Jifty::DBI::Handle that compensates for some of the idiosyncrasies of Oracle. METHODS
connect PARAMHASH: Driver, Database, Host, User, Password Takes a paramhash and connects to your DBI datasource. database_version Returns value of ORA_OCI constant, see "Constants" in DBD::Oracle. insert Takes a table name as the first argument and assumes that the rest of the arguments are an array of key-value pairs to be inserted. build_dsn PARAMHASH Takes a bunch of parameters: Required: Driver, Database or Host/SID, Optional: Port and RequireSSL Builds a dsn suitable for an Oracle DBI connection blob_params column_NAME column_type Returns a hash ref for the bind_param call to identify BLOB types used by the current database for a particular column type. The current Oracle implementation only supports ORA_CLOB types(112). apply_limits STATEMENTREF ROWS_PER_PAGE FIRST_ROW takes an SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return ROWS_PER_PAGE starting with FIRST_ROW; distinct_query STATEMENTREF takes an incomplete SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return a DISTINCT result set.
