Oracle RAC Project Starts Tomorrow
A I previously described I will started a new Oracle RAC project. If everything goes as planned I will get my hands on the 2 node setup tomorrow.
I have been busy researching 3PAR and enhancements to 11G. I will be installing 11G and implementing all new data warehouse ETL code.
Oracle Storage Research
I have been heavily researching Oracle storage best practices since starting my new Oracle RAC project. My new setup will specifically be for replacing a data warehouse that is currently 4.8T. The new data warehouse will start out significantly smaller. An entirely new ETL process will be deployed an then the historical data will be move over to it.
The new setup will be a (2) node RAC installation running Oracle 11G. The storage for this project will be a SAN and utilizing Oracle’s ASM architecture. Specifically we will be running 3Par’s InServ F400. We will be starting out with (40) 450GB 15K drives. We will be running dual 4 GBIT/s fiber channel adapters. Our SAN switches will be running 2 GBIT/s ports with an upgrade path to use 4 GBIT/s switch later.
