| + | This action, will NOT cause downtime. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====ReConfigure GridDisk==== | ||
| + | Let's put ourselves a challange, let's change the size of the ASM disks one diskgroup, on oura grid disks from: 928 MB to - 608 MB | ||
| + | That is hard process if we want to avoid downtime. In a nutshell, what we will do is: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Drop Disks on Cell Server 1 | ||
| + | - Reconfigure the Disks on Cell Server 1 | ||
| + | - Add the new disks to the diskgroup, while dropping the ones on the next Cell server | ||
| + | |||
| + | We will repeat step 1), 2) and 3) until we have all disks with the same size. | ||
| + | P.S. Have disks with different size in one Diskgroup is very bad practice, it will cause constant rebalancing. | ||
| + | Without further adew, let's get started: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | SQL> select dg.name, count(*), d.total_mb, d.os_mb, | ||
| + | 2 min(d.free_mb) MIN_FREE_MB, | ||
| + | 3 from v$asm_disk d, v$asm_diskgroup dg | ||
| + | 4 where dg.group_number=d.group_number and d.mount_status=' | ||
| + | 5 group by dg.name, d.total_mb, d.os_mb; | ||
| + | |||
| + | NAME | ||
| + | --------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------- ----------- | ||
| + | DBFS_DG 36 352 | ||
| + | DATA_QR01 36 | ||
| + | RECO_QR01 36 | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, we can rebalance and manually bring the disks to 608, but that won't help: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | SQL> alter diskgroup reco_qr01 resize all size 608m | ||
| + | 2 rebalance power 1024; | ||
| + | Diskgroup altered. | ||
| + | SQL> | ||
| + | SQL> select dg.name, count(*), d.total_mb, d.os_mb, | ||
| + | 2 min(d.free_mb) MIN_FREE_MB, | ||
| + | 3 from v$asm_disk d, v$asm_diskgroup dg | ||
| + | 4 where dg.group_number=d.group_number and d.mount_status=' | ||
| + | 5 group by dg.name, d.total_mb, d.os_mb; | ||
| + | |||

| + | DBFS_DG 36 352 | ||
| + | DATA_QR01 36 | ||
| + | RECO_QR01 36 | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The problem here is the fact that the grid disk on the Storage cell is still 928, as indicated by the " | ||
| + | To change that, we need to do it on rotations, just like with Redo log files :) | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||

| + | =====Flash Cache===== | ||
| + | Flash cache in Exadata is a memory which stores often accessed data on storage level. With Flash cache you can achieve very good perfmance for reading. | ||
| + | There are 3 types of a caches: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Write through=== | ||
| + | Using the write-through policy, data is written to the cache and the backing store location at the same time. The significance here is not the order in which it happens or whether it happens in parallel. The significance is that I/O completion is only confirmed once the data has been written to both places. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Advantage== | ||
| + | Ensures fast retrieval while making sure the data is in the backing store and is not lost in case the cache is disrupted. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Disadvantage== | ||
| + | Writing data will experience latency as you have to write to two places every time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==What is it good for?== | ||
| + | The write-through policy is good for applications that write and then re-read data frequently. This will result in slightly higher write latency but low read latency. So, it’s ok to spend a bit longer writing once, but then benefit from reading frequently with low latency. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Write-around=== | ||
| + | Using the write-around policy, data is written only to the backing store without writing to the cache. So, I/O completion is confirmed as soon as the data is written to the backing store. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Advantage== | ||
| + | Good for not flooding the cache with data that may not subsequently be re-read. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Disadvsntage== | ||
| + | Reading recently written data will result in a cache miss (and so a higher latency) because the data can only be read from the slower backing store. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==What is it good for?== | ||
| + | The write-around policy is good for applications that don’t frequently re-read recently written data. This will result in lower write latency but higher read latency which is a acceptable trade-off for these scenarios. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===Write-back=== | ||
| + | Using the write-back policy, data is written to the cache and Then I/O completion is confirmed. The data is then typically also written to the backing store in the background but the completion confirmation is not blocked on that. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Advantage== | ||
| + | Low latency and high throughput for write-intensive applications. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Disadvantage== | ||
| + | There is data availability risk because the cache could fail (and so suffer from data loss) before the data is persisted to the backing store. This result in the data being lost. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==What is it good for?== | ||
| + | The write-back policy is the best performer for mixed workloads as both read and write I/O have similar response time levels. In reality, you can add resiliency (e.g. by duplicating writes) to reduce the likelihood of data loss. | ||
