T3 is an optimized protocol used to transport data between WebLogic Server and o ther Java programs,including clients and other

WebLogic Servers. WebLogic Server keeps track of every Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with which it connects, and creates a single T3 connection to carr y all traffic for a JVM. For example, if a Java client accesses an enterprise bean and a JDBC connection pool on WebLogic Server, a single network connection is established between the WebLogic Server JVM and the client JVM.

How can I speed it up? The asmcmd utility appears to be very slow. This slowness is a result of queries against the v$asm_diskgroup view. To solve this problem edit the $ORACLE_HOME/b in/asmcmdcore script and change all v$asm_diskgroup references to v$asm_diskgrou p_stat. V$asm_diskgroup and v$asm_diskgroup_stat provides exactly the same information, but the %_stat view operates from cache, while v$asm_diskgroup rescans all disk headers. This method is also used by Oracle in their Enterprise Manager product. What is SYSASM role? Starting from Oracle 11g, SYSASM role can be used to administer the ASM instance s. You can continue using SYSDBA role to connect to ASM but it will generate fol lowing warning messages at time of startup/shutdown, create Diskgroup/add disk,

etc Alert entry WARNING: Deprecated privilege SYSDBA for command 'STARTUP' How can we copy the files from/to ASM? You can use RMAN or DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER.COPY_FILE procedure to copy the files to/ from ASM from/to Filesystem. Same size disk for Failuregroups in Normal/High redundancy will prevent issues l ike ORA-15041 as the file extents needs to be mirrored across the disks I have created Oracle database using DBCA and having a different home for ASM a nd Oracle Database. I see that listener is running from ASM_HOME. Is it correct? This is fine. When using different home for ASM, you need to run the listener fr om ASM_HOME instead of ORACLE_HOME.

How does one create a database directly on ASM? The trick is to create an SPFILE and restart the instance before issuing the CRE ATE DATABASE statement: Code: STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=initorcl_0.ora CREATE SPFILE FROM pfile='initorcl_0.ora'; SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE STARTUP NOMOUNT Point all OMF files into ASM: Code: ALTER SYSTEM SET db_create_file_dest = '+DATA'; ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE = 134G; ALTER SYSTEM SET db_recovery_file_dest = '+RECOVER'; Issue the create database command: Code: CREATE DATABASE orcl UNDO TABLESPACE undots DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp character set "WE8ISO8859P1" national character set "AL16UTF16"; ASM Instance not recognized by DBCA ,why? I had the same error and the way I fixed is by changing TNS_ADMIN value in .bash _profile. Old Value TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin New Value TNS_ADMIN=$ASM_HOME/network/admin My ORACLE_HOME=/d01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1

My ASM_HOME=/d01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/*asm* Once this is done, I re-executed my .bash_profile and started dbca and the error went away. Also, after you create your databse, you might have to set your TNS_ADMIN env in srvctl to start database . Wrong TNS_ADMIN setting might cause the following er rors during the start of database using srvctl but not sqlplus. $ srvctl start database -d ProdDb PRKP-1001 : Error starting instance ProdDb on node node1 CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.ProdDb.ProdDb1.inst'. PRKP-1001 : Error starting instance ProdDb2 on node node2 CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.ProdDb.ProdDb2.inst'. For example: srvctl setenv database -d ProdDb -T TNS_ADMIN='/d01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/as m/network/admin' Which shows you that all you need is an +ASM entry in the tnsnames.ora file unde r /d01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin.

Bigfile vs standard db files The performance of database opens, checkpoints, and DBWR processes should improv e if data is stored in bigfile tablespaces instead of traditional tablespaces. H owever, increasing the datafile size might increase the time to restore a corrup ted file or create a new datafile.

in oracle 11g release 2, instances register with SCAN listeners only as remote l isteners. In your case it should be REMOTE_LISTENER=<scan-name>:<port> That is the purpose of REMOTE_LISTENER

Because, Logical standby databases may require more standby redo log files (or additiona l ARCn processes) depending on the workload. This is because logical standby dat abases also write to online redo log files, which take precedence over standby r edo log files. Thus, the standby redo log files may not be archived as quickly a s the online redo log files.

(Anyway once MRP starts it do-recover) Backing Up Logs with BACKUP ... PLUS ARCHIVELOG You can add archived redo logs to a backup of other files by using the BACKUP .. . PLUS ARCHIVELOG clause. Adding BACKUP ... PLUS ARCHIVELOG causes RMAN to do th e following: Runs the ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT command. Runs BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL. Note that if backup optimization is enabled, then RM AN skips logs that it has already backed up to the specified device. Backs up the rest of the files specified in BACKUP command. ( if it is a databas e ,then complete database) Runs the ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT command. Backs up any remaining archived logs generated during the backup.

Why we need a standby control file backup Standby controlfile set a flag with that DB identify the DB in standby or Normal Database. The controlfile Must be created after the backup of the datafiles. restore standby controlfile from 'C:\ORACLE\CONTROL08N3GEA6_1_1.BKP'; Even if the above control file is creating using current controlfile.

If you have ILOM, you can view the progress of restart through its interface. ssh /SP/start console ASMDeactivationOutcome?????? This attribute shows whether the grid disk can be deactivated without loss of da ta. A value of Yes indicates you can deactivate this grid disk without data loss.

Exadata is kind of "different Oracle", for example it doesn't require indexing o n table that much and so and so. An exdata DBA need experience in Database, Storage and OS. A good understanding of SmartScan and Hybrid Columnar Compression. (ctrieb) If you can answer the question "Why with Exadata do I probably not need [some or all of my] indexes?" you are on the right road. (Dan Morgan). Learn all you can about direct path reads as they are critical to enable smart s can. Serial direct path reads are done often in 11gR2, probably because of Exada ta influence. Learn about parallel query and the mechanisms available to throttle it (queuing is now available in 11gR2). Knowing something about Infiniband would probably be a good idea as well since y ou'll have to figure out how to connect to external devices (tape drives for exa mple).

Look at the cssd.log files on both nodes; usually we will get more infor mation on the second node if the first node is evicted. Also take a look at crsd

If you see Polling key words with reduce in percentage values in cssd.log file that says the eviction is probably due to Network. If you see Diskpingout are something related to -DISK- then, the eviction is because of Disk time out.
