Overview
Scripts
Scripts that are specific to exadata monitoring:
Cell Usage

from v$sysstat a, v$mystat b
where a.statistic# = b.statistic# and
(a.name in ('physical read total bytes',

'cell IO uncompressed bytes')
or a.name like 'cell phy%');
SQL> select a.name, b.value from v$sysstat a, v$mystat b

Flash Cache Content
To see if an object is in the flash cache, we have to know its:
- object number
- Tablespace number
- Database name
SQL> @/home/oracle/labs/lab04-03-15.sql SQL> select owner, object_name, tablespace_name, ts#, dataobj#, 2 statistic_name, value 3 from v$segment_statistics 4 where owner='SH' and object_name='CUSTOMERS' 5 and statistic_name='optimized physical reads'; OWNER OBJECT_NAME TABLESPACE_NAME TS# DATAOBJ# STATISTICS VALUE ----- -------------------- ----- -- ---------- ------------------------- ----------------------- SH CUSTOMERS SH 7 20473 optimized physical reads 477
once we have that, we can check in the call using the CellCli:
CellCLI> list flashcachecontent where objectnumber=20473 and tablespacenumber=7 and dbuniquename=DBM detail cachedKeepSize: 0 cachedSize: 13189120 cachedWriteSize: 0 columnarCacheSize: 0 columnarKeepSize: 0 dbID: 2080757153 dbUniqueName: DBM hitCount: 160 missCount: 159 objectNumber: 20473 tableSpaceNumber: 7 CellCLI>
Furthermore, we see that the hitcount in the storage cell is ony: 160, where in SQL query is 477. The reason is the fact that the load was distributed among all 3 cells. We can check that using dcli to query all cells:
[celladmin@qr01celadm01 ~]$ dcli -c qr01celadm01,qr01celadm02,qr01celadm03 cellcli -e list flashcachecontent where objectnumber=20473 and tablespacenumber=7 and dbuniquename=DBM detail qr01celadm01: cachedKeepSize: 0 qr01celadm01: cachedSize: 13189120 qr01celadm01: cachedWriteSize: 0 qr01celadm01: columnarCacheSize: 0 qr01celadm01: columnarKeepSize: 0 qr01celadm01: dbID: 2080757153 qr01celadm01: dbUniqueName: DBM qr01celadm01: hitCount: 160 <- Load 3 qr01celadm01: missCount: 159 qr01celadm01: objectNumber: 20473 qr01celadm01: tableSpaceNumber: 7 qr01celadm02: cachedKeepSize: 0 qr01celadm02: cachedSize: 14188544 qr01celadm02: cachedWriteSize: 0 qr01celadm02: columnarCacheSize: 0 qr01celadm02: columnarKeepSize: 0 qr01celadm02: dbID: 2080757153 qr01celadm02: dbUniqueName: DBM qr01celadm02: hitCount: 177 <- Load 2 qr01celadm02: missCount: 175 qr01celadm02: objectNumber: 20473 qr01celadm02: tableSpaceNumber: 7 qr01celadm03: cachedKeepSize: 0 qr01celadm03: cachedSize: 11378688 qr01celadm03: cachedWriteSize: 0 qr01celadm03: columnarCacheSize: 0 qr01celadm03: columnarKeepSize: 0 qr01celadm03: dbID: 2080757153 qr01celadm03: dbUniqueName: DBM qr01celadm03: hitCount: 140 <- Load 1 qr01celadm03: missCount: 139 qr01celadm03: objectNumber: 20473 qr01celadm03: tableSpaceNumber: 7
In total is 477, just like the SQL query.
Smart Scan
We can see if a query is using the Smart Scan capabilities of the exadata by observing the execution plan:
Query plan using Smart Scan
SQL> connect sh/sh
Connected.
SQL> set autotrace on explain
SQL>
SQL> set timing on
SQL> select count(*) from cust_info where occupation = 'Farming';
COUNT(*)
----------
27244
Elapsed: 00:00:02.80
Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 1273666552
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 7 | 8718 (1)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | SORT AGGREGATE | | 1 | 7 | | |
|* 2 | TABLE ACCESS STORAGE FULL| CUST_INFO | 229K| 1570K| 8718 (1)| 00:00:01 |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
---------------------------------------------------
2 - storage("OCCUPATION"='Farming')
filter("OCCUPATION"='Farming')
SQL> set autotrace off
SQL>
As you can see above, the query is using the: “TABLE ACCESS STORAGE FULL” which is a sign of using the Smart Scan capabilities.
