Oracle 12c recommendations
The database is an important part of BMC Client Management , especially in highly distributed environments. For each of the three basic types of database-Web Application (Web), Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and Data Warehousing (DW)-the hardware component priorities are different. Client Management works like a web application with web services; it behaves like an OLTP application when integrating all information reported by devices; and it performs like a DW application for report generation, aggregating the results and displaying inventory views.
This topic provides recommendations for the appropriate database configuration for Oracle 12c in highly distributed environments:
Disk layout
When you run the Create_TS.oracle.sql
script, which is provided for tablespace creation on your database, BMC recommends that you segregate the tablespaces on different disks, as shown in the following tables:
Tablespaces for tables
Small | Large | Static |
---|---|---|
BCM_DATA | BCM_EL | BCM_VMCKB |
BCM_VM | BCM_INV | BCM_ESIDKB |
BCM_WQ | BCM_DELTAINV | BCM_PATCH |
— | BCM_VMINV | — |
— | BCM_ESIDDATA | — |
— | BCM_SCAP | — |
Tablespaces for indexes
Small | Large | Static |
---|---|---|
BCM_INDEX | BCM_ELINDEX | BCM_VMCKBINDEX |
BCM_VMINDEX | BCM_INVINDEX | BCM_ESIDKBINDEX |
BCM_WQINDEX | BCM_DELTAINDEX | BCM_PATCHINDEX |
— | BCM_VMINVINDEX | — |
— | BCM_ESIDDATAINDEX | — |
— | BCM_SCAPINDEX | — |
Recommended minimum disk layout
Disk | Rmp/s | File system | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / SYSTEM - ORACLE |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / REDO LOG |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TABLESPACES FOR TABLES |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TABLESPACES FOR INDEXES |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TEMPORARY TABLESPACES |
Recommended best disk layout
Disk | Rmp/s | File system | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / SYSTEM - ORACLE |
2 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / REDO LOG |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TABLESPACES FOR SMALL TABLES |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TABLESPACES FOR LARGE TABLES |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TABLESPACES FOR STATIC TABLES |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TABLESPACES FOR SMALL INDEXES |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TABLESPACES FOR LARGE INDEXES |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TABLESPACES FOR STATIC INDEXES |
1 | 10 K / 15 K | ext3 | / TEMPORARY TABLESPACES |
Recommended RAID implementation
Disk | Rmp/s | RAID level | File system | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|---|
2 | 10 K / 15 K | 10 | ext3 | / SYSTEM |
8 | 10 K / 15 K | 10 | ext3 | / ORACLE + TABLESPACES |
2 | 10 K / 15 K | 10 | ext3 | / REDO LOG |
2 | 10 K / 15 K | 10 | ext3 | / TEMPORARY TABLESPACES |
Storage capacity sizing
When sizing storage capacity for an Oracle system, you need to consider the following Oracle database components:
- Database files
- Online REDO log files
- Backup/flash data
Database element | Space requirement | 20,000 nodes | 50,000 nodes | 100,000 nodes | 150,000 nodes | 200,000 nodes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Database files | DB size | 20 GB | 50 GB | 100 GB | 150 GB | 200 GB |
Temporary tablespace | DB size * 0.2 | 4 GB | 10 GB | 20 GB | 30 GB | 40 GB |
System/undo tablespace | DB size * 0.1 | 2 GB | 5 GB | 10 GB | 15 GB | 20 GB |
Online redo logs | DB size * 0.2 | 4 GB | 10 GB | 20 GB | 30 GB | 40 GB |
Archive logs | DB size * 1.0 | 20 GB | 50 GB | 100 GB | 150 GB | 200 GB |
Backup/flash data | DB size * 2.0 | 40 GB | 100 GB | 200 GB | 300 GB | 400 GB |
Total | 90 GB | 225 GB | 450 GB | 675 GB | 900 GB |
Memory management
Memory management is the most critical and complex part of tuning Oracle databases for performance. Our testing environment confirmed that using AMM
provided better performance if the correct initial settings for MEMORY_TARGET
are specified.
Number of nodes | MEMORY_TARGET |
---|---|
20,000 | 16 GB |
50,000 | 24 GB |
100,000 | 48 GB |
150,000 | 72 GB |
200,000 | 96 GB |
Initialization parameters
For optimal performance with Client Management , the following Oracle database initialization parameters are recommended.
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
filesystemio_options | SETALL |
query_rewrite_enabled | FALSE |
optimizer_mode | CHOOSE |
optimizer_features_enable | 9.2.0 |
cursor_sharing | FORCE |
open_cursors | 800 |
session_cached_cursors | 2000 |
compatible | 11.2.0 |
commit_logging | BATCH |
commit_wait | NOWAIT |
optimizer_index_cost_adj | 20 |
