Congratulations and hope to meet many of you at .Next
Congratulations everyone! I too look forward to this new adventure. Ben Roller
I am consolidating a 4 clusters into a single 41 node cluster. The workload on these clusters are Linux VMs providing Dev/Test and Production environments. A large number of these are Oracle RAC. I may write something up about the project more in detail and the learnings. The justification is that scheduling and conducting upgrades on 5 clusters multiple times over the year is costly. We also will gain capacity due to less resources committed for redundancy . One of the surprises was that its recommended using RF3 if for clusters greater than 24 nodes. This fact has me considering keeping some key production workloads on a separate cluster but as time passes we probably end up with a cluster with more than 24 nodes anyway. Tonight is a big night, we are consolidating 2 production clusters which will free up 2 blocks and 8 nodes... finally enough headroom that we can start rolling through clusters. There are some big challenges coming up as we have multiple storage nodes i
I am retrofitting a process of replicating data from production RAC environments to Dev/Test using snapshots -> clones which end up being owners of the disks that are shared to an environments RAC nodes. Crazy cool idea that my boss came up with. Currently it leverages ACL and requires cut-n-paste 2 times but I can update the data volumes in less than 5 mins. I want to leverage volume groups and volume group APIs in 4.6 to fully automate the process. I'm drinking the Kool aid.
