Applewhite [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 2:05 PMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: RE: Physical access to servers for maintenance Me too. We've got our 4 Production Win2k servers (2 Oracle8i servers, 2 Webservers) at a colocation facility and have used either PCAnywhere or Terminal Services to access them over the Internet for the last 9 months. The developers have never needed to have access to the servers except to put in the Cold Fusion CD to install CF Server. I've only needed access once, to load some big files that I later imported into a test db on one of the servers (actually, that's when I put in the CF CD, to save the developers a trip). Even then, I really didn't need to be there, I could have transferredmy files via PCAnywhere. If I were the SysAdmin I would have needed access a couple of times to replace failed drives, but the colocation guys took care of that. I recovered our Production db remotely after they replaced the drives. It's very nice to be able to PCAnywhere in to those boxes from home. Jack Jack C.

OT: Nostradamus: RE: RE: STOP THE PRESS!!
The following quatrain has been circulating the Internet after the WTC bombings. In the City of God there will be a great thunder, two brothers torn apart by chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will sucumb. The third big war will begin when the big city is burning. It is NOT by Nostradamus. The original source may be http://www.ed.brocku.ca/~nmarshal/nostradamus.htm. Here is a short excerpt from that page. How does this apply to Nostradamus? Well I will show you... If I make say a thousand prophecies that are fairly abstract for example: In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb Well let us analyse this. For Example what does City of God mean? It could be Mecca, Medina, Rome, Jeruselum, Salt Lake City, or any holy city depending on your religion. What do I mean by thunder--a storm? War? EarthQuake? lots of stuff can be described by thunder. There are a lot of two brothers on this world (I think the Number runs among the Billions) and fortress edure's what--Besiegement, Famine, etc?

The White House is reportedly being evacuated. One report says six people have been killed in the New York incident while hundreds have been injured. Smoke is pouring from the upper storeys of both towers of the World Trade Center. The building, one of the world's tallest, has been badly damaged in what President George W Bush has described as an apparent terrorist attack. He said: We will find those who committed this attack. New York police have been quoted as saying that both planes were hijacked from Boston. A few minutes after the first tower was hit by a passenger plane, a second, similar plane was seen flying into the second tower. A huge explosion was seen. Eyewitnesses say the first plane crashed into the West Tower after flying unusually low over Manhattan Island. A BBC correspondent says 10 to 15 floors have been affected by the crash. Briton James Winter, 30, living in an apartment close to the centre, said he was woken a huge bang at around 0800 local time. I was in bed and there was a huge explosion. The whole building rattled and shook, he said. I ran to the window and there was smoke billowing from the south side of one of the towers. Everyone in my building was panicking and running around. The World Trade Center consists of two 110-story skyscrapers, New York's tallest buildings. One of the towers is just six feet (two metres) taller than the other. About 40,000 people work inside the two-building centre, and more than 150,000 people enter the complex every day. On 26 February, 1993, a terrorist bomb exploded in building number one's lower level. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L

HYPER VOLUMES - RE: Never split index and data files ...
Dick, Thanks! SAME also suggests using the outer half of each disk for data storage...as I/O performance is increased due to the natural circular shape of the platter. My question...how do you specify which sections of each disk are utilized? From what I've been able to read, I'm guessing that hyper volumes could be used for this?? I'm not sure...haven't had the opportunity to play with this yet. Anyone have an answer for this? Ed Haskins Oracle DBA Verizon Wireless -Original Message- Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 5:04 PM To: Haskins; Ed; Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L ED, Damn good question! No I won't take it as sarcastic at all. Now to your point: We had to implement this particular strategy about 4 years ago due to the vendor we bought a disk array from (IPL). They were somewhat ahead of the curve here. Simple theory, they configured the 30GB array as one very large disk drive with all of the disks striped and mirrored. Simply put the SAME principle. Problem, there was only one SCSI channel into the array, OOPS, bottle neck par excellence! Again not too far in the recent past we did a similar thing with some EMC disk, but this time we used 4 SCSI cables with EMC's Power Path software. OH FUDGE, the 4 hyper volumes were all on the same spindle, Damn, bottle neck par excellence again. So as you can see, it makes a wonderful theory, but I haven't seen the pudding, yet. Still trying!

My question to you: Have you seen it in practice at all? An actual working implementation? For that matter; has ANYONE seen it implemented in a production environment? I'm sure it must be somewhere, but I'm curious if anyone knows where. This is a subject that I'm really into right now...that's why I'm prodding a bit! Thanks, Ed Haskins Oracle DBA Verizon Wireless -Original Message- Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 12:46 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Steve, I heard about this SAME philosophy at the last NorthEast Oracle Users Group meeting from a individual who works on the utilities for Oracle in the New England Development Office. Although we did not get deeply into the philosophy, I'll agree that it is not the silver bullet, actually it can become a performance detractor. The individual who wrote the paper for Oracle (Anjo Kolk) is a LONG time Oracle person, actually wrote the core of the kernel, so I believe he's probably writing from a purely theoretical point of view. In that light what he's saying would be true, stripe mirror everything and theoretically you should never have an io bottleneck. BUT, many hardware platforms don't handle mirroring very well unless your using a disk array like EMC's. Now that handles the mirror internally so we've alleviated that problem, but EMC likes to break their drives into 'hyper volumes' so your stripping may or may not be across physical drives. Also your stripes can still have the bottle neck of the number of SCSI cards in the computer. In any case taking a little time to insure that redo logs, archive logs, indexes, and data are all REALLY spread out across devices is the only way to go. SAME is a great theory, but I can't and haven't seen it perform well in practice, yet. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: Steve Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 4/19/2001 11:25 PM Hi All, The author (Anjo Kolk) is an advocate of SAME (stripe and mirror everything).

RE: Large Redo Logs
Yes, I can...I think. What it is saying is...it is possible to have a volume or partition extended over multiple disks. For example; you can have 2 4GB Hard Drives, and it is possible to Format Drive 1 as let's say Drive D:\, then format 2GB of Drive 2 and add it as an "Extended Partition" of D:\. If you have a 5GB datafile (or index), the file would be on one "logical" partition, but two physical hard drives. You don't want to do this! Thus, "Never split index and data files to different sets of disks." (UNLESS: you are using RAID...then it makes sense that your datafiles will be spread over multiple disks). Hope that helps!

RE: server sizing
Lerone, My opinion is that your database on an NT platform will not scale as well as you may hope. You are talking about adding 100-150% more data and tripling your users to 300. I would strongly recommend going to a Unix platform for your database. Also, if the database is going to grow that much...it is likely a write intensive application that would perform better on something other than RAID5...maybe RAID0+1. Certainly there are servers that can handle this load...on NT, but if you are going to that large a server...why not go Unix and increase your performance (I know, an NT box costs less...but if cost isn't an issue!?!). That's just my opinion...and I actually started my IT career as an NT Admin! Ed Haskins Oracle DBA Verizon Wireless -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 12:35 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L in gaining knowledge about oracle I've been introduced to some concepts, components, and concerns and I'd like to get some general feedback. so, in general how big of a deal is server design? what would you use as criteria for decision making, like the need for multiple controllers and drive/file system configurations. my background is with ms-sql/nt and we're looking at migrating/upgrading to oracle/nt. we've had success with raid 5 via a single controller with multiple channels. I've been to the oracle dba pt 1a and have been exposed to oracle architecture; we never had such concerns so I have no basis of comparison. our instructor and classmates, while knowledgeable, were more developers than system engineers; whereas we'll be more system engineers/administrators than developers. what kinds of metrics/performance should I be looking at, considering, and shooting for from the start? right now we have about 100 users and a 20G DB which *will* increase to probably 300 users and 40G to 50G DB; on average we're looking at about thirty thousand transactions over an 11 hour period; again that'll probably increase to 70,000 to 80,000 transactions over an 11 hour period. reads/writes/queries/indexes, their size and speed, and other such processing metrics, were never a concern. === Lerone Streeter System Analyst Abbott LBG [EMAIL PROTECTED] === -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Streeter, Lerone A LBX INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
