</code></p>
<p>That&#8217;s because all current datafiles were registered into recovery catalog as backup copy. With a recovery redundancy of 1, all datafiles were set as obsolete!  But since it&#8217;s windows, a delete command doesn&#8217;t delete datafiles if they are already in use. What it was on unix? We had just luck!</p>
<p>Then we had to uncatalog all copies.</p>

<p>This enviromnent is relying on Windows OS. Don&#8217;t know how this could be called &#8220;<em>availability</em>&#8221; but here we are. I revisited my scripts in a quick and very dirty way. Please consider that I did copy and paste to check the alignment once per thread, but it should be improved with some kind of iteration to check each thread in a more structured fashion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>RRDize everything, chapter 2</strong></p>
<p>Oracle Database Server has the most powerful system catalog that allows to query almost any aspect inside an oracle instance.<br />
You can query many <em>v$</em> fixed views at regular intervals and populate many RRD files through <a href="http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/">rrdtool</a>: space usage, wait events. system statistics and so on&#8230;</p>
<p>Since release 10.1 Oracle has introduced <a href="www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/10gdba/week6_10gdba.html">Automatic Workload Repository</a>, a finer version of old good Statspack.<br />
No matter if you are using AWR or statspack, you can rely on their views to collect data for your RRDs.</p>
<p>If you are administering a new instance and you haven&#8217;t collected its statistics so far, you can query (as example) the DBA_HIST_BG_EVENT_SUMMARY view to gather all AWR data about wait events. Historical views could be useful also to collect historical data once a week rather than query the fixed views every few minutes doing the hard work twice (you and AWR).</p>
<p>The whole process of gathering performance data and update rrd files can be resumed into the following steps:</p>
<p>- connect to the database<br />
- query the AWR&#8217;s views<br />
- build and execute an rrdtool update command<br />
- check if rrd file exists or create it<br />
- update the rrd file</p>
<p>The less rrdtool update commands you will execute, the better the whole process will perform.<br />
Do it in a language you are comfortable with and that supports easily connection descriptors.</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;m very comfortable with php, I did it this way.</p>
<p>This is a very basilar script that works greatly for me with good performances:</p>

<p>As you can see, they are not so big&#8230;</p>
<p>Once you have your data in rrd files, it&#8217;s quite simple to script even complex plots with several datasources. Everything depends on the results you want.<br />
This script stack all my wait events for a certain instance: it takes the directory containing all the rrds as first argument and the number of hours we want to be plotted as second argument:</p>

<p>Another script should check for the gap between production online log and the log stream received by the standby database. This can be accomplished with v$managed_standby view.<br />
The Total Block Gap between production and standby can be calculated this way:<br />
Sum all blocks from v$archived_logs where seq# between  Current Standby Seq# and Current Production Seq#.  Then add current block# of the production LGWR process and subtract current block# from RFS standby process. This gives you total blocks even if there is a log sequence gap between sites.<br />
This is NOT the gap of online log APPLIED to the standby database. THIS IS THE GAP OF ONLINE LOG TRANSMITTED TO THE STANDBY RFS PROCESS and can be used to monitor your dataguard transmission from production to disaster recovery environment.</p>
<p>This is an excerpt of such script (please take care that it does not check against RFS failures, so it can fails when RFS is not alive):</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finished today to create a new production environment based on 2 Linux serverX86_64 and running Oracle RAC 10gR2. (I know, there is 11g right now, but I&#8217;m a conservative!)<br />
Wheeew, I just spent a couple of hours applying all the recommended patches!<br />
We choosed 2 nodes with a maximum of 2 multi-core processors each one so we can license Standard Edition instead of Enterprise Edition. 64bits addressing allow us to allocate many gigabytes of SGA. I&#8217;m starting with 5Gb but I think we&#8217;ll need more. And a set of 6x300Gb 15krpms disks (it can be expanded with more disks and more shelves).<br />
This configuration keeps low the total cost of ownership but achieves best performance.<br />
Due to disks layout, costs and needed usable storage, we had to configure one huge RAID5 on the SAN with multi-path. I decided anyway to create 2 ASM disk groups (ASM is mandatory for Standard Edition RAC), one for the DB, the second one for the recovery area. With spare disks we should have enough availability and even if it&#8217;s a RAID5 I saw good write performances (&gt;150M/s).</p>
<p>Welcome new RAC, I hope we&#8217;ll feel good together!</p>
