Exadata Key Features

Exadata Smart Scan Exadata Storage Indexes
Smart scans occurs when:
- Query performs a full table scan or fast full index scan Enable Storage Indexes (Default is enabled):
- The objects that are scanned qualify for direct path reads SQL> alter system set "_kcfis_storageidx_disabled"=FALSE scope=both sid='*';
- Query does not contain any functions that are not offloadable
- Database storage resides on Exadata cells Disable Storage Indexes:
SQL> alter system set "_kcfis_storageidx_disabled"=TRUE scope=both sid='*';
List offloadable operations:
SQL> select name,offloadable from v$sqlfn_metadata where offloadable='YES'; Monitor Storage Indexes:
SQL> select name, value from v$mystat s, v$statname n where s.statistic# =
Enable Cell offloading: n.statistic# and name like '%storage index%';
SQL> alter session set cell_offload_processing=true;
SQL> alter sytem set cell_offload_processing=true; Enable Storage Indexes Tracing:
CellCLI> alter cell events="immediate
Disable Cell offloading: cellsrv.cellsrv_setparam('_cell_storage_index_diag_mode',2)"
SQL> alter session set cell_offload_processing=false;
SQL> alter sytem set cell_offload_processing=false; Disabled Storage Indexes Tracing:
CellCLI> alter cell events="immediate
Enable/Disable offloading for ASM DG: cellsrv.cellsrv_setparam('_cell_storage_index_diag_mode',0)"
SQL> alter diskgroup DATA set attribute 'cell.smart_scan_capable'='TRUE';
SQL> alter diskgroup DATA set attribute 'cell.smart_scan_capable'='FALSE';

Identifying Smart Scan using 10046 tracing:

SQL> alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 8';

COMPRESS FOR ARCHIVE HIGH Disable IORM Plan:
# dcli -g ~/cell_group cellcli -e alter iormplan inactive
Examples:
Enable IORM Plan:
SQL> CREATE TABLE NSM.EHCC_COMP_QL NOLOGGING PARALLEL 16 COMPRESS FOR # dcli -g ~/cell_group cellcli -e alter iormplan active
QUERY LOW AS SELECT /*+ parallel (a 16) */ * FROM NSM.TAB_NOCOMP a;
Monitoring IORM:
SQL> CREATE TABLE NSM.EHCC_COMP_QH NOLOGGING PARALLEL 16 COMPRESS # cellcli -e list metricdefinition where objectType='IORM_CATEGORY' attributes
FOR QUERY HIGH AS SELECT /*+ parallel (a 16) */ * FROM NSM.TAB_NOCOMP a; name,description
# cellcli -e list metricdefinition where objectType='IORM_DATABASE' attributes
SQL> CREATE TABLE NSM.EHCC_COMP_AL NOLOGGING PARALLEL 16 COMPRESS FOR name,description
ARCHIVE LOW AS SELECT /*+ parallel (a 16) */ * FROM NSM.TAB_NOCOMP a; # cellcli -e list metricdefinition where objectType='IORM_CONSUMER_GROUP'
