What Bonnie's benchmark should we expect for RAID 0+1

2002-12-19 Thread Xie, Tom
Hello,

We have a Compaq AlphaServer 8400 with 8 GB RAM, 8 dual 625mhz CPUs and 
two HSZ70 Array Controllers. Each Controller is connected to 24 36GB 
10K rpm Ultr SCSI disk divers. In the system, some volums are 
configured as RAID 1, and the others are configured as RAID 0+1
with 3 striping. However, we can't see significant performance 
improvement in RAID 0+1 volums except random seek. The following are
the Bonnie's benchmarks for two kinds of volums:

For RAID 1:

  ---Sequential Output ---Sequential Input--
--Random--
  -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block---
--Seeks---
MachineMB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU  /sec
%CPU
RAID11024  9029 55.1  9108 14.3  8956 15.6 15700 89.4 115531 99.9 2535.2
65.9

For RAID 0+1:

  ---Sequential Output ---Sequential Input--
--Random--
  -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block---
--Seeks---
MachineMB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU  /sec
%CPU
RAID01   1024  9780 58.8  9872 17.1 14067 25.7 15990 89.7 56037 59.5 5374.3
169.9

Is there something wrong? What Bonnie's benchmark should we expect 
for RAID 0+1?

Thanks,
Tom

How to re-trace a session

2002-10-08 Thread Xie, Tom

Hello,

I  successfully traced a long running session by using dbms_system.set_ev 
procedure, and moved the trace file to somewhere else. However, when 
I used the same command to re-trace the same session, I can't see the
trace file again. There was no error message. I tried to use oradebug 
and dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session to trace the same session. No 
matter what method I used, I still can't see the trace file. Then, I 
tried to trace other sessions using all available methods, but all 
failed. Even though there was no error message, I can't see trace files. 

Can someone tell me what is wrong and how can I re-enable the 
sql trace?

Jared, Tim and Anjo,

Thanks for your help.
In fact, I stopped the tracing first, then cp the trace file to other
directory and rm it.
Also I can't trace other sessions now.

Tom,

The problem is that you moved the file.

Oracle will use the same file name, when you
stop/restart tracing, and in fact leaves the file
handle open until the session disconnects.

Moving the file disables the output.

RE: How to re-trace a session

2002-10-08 Thread Xie, Tom

I made a mistake. In fact, I can trace other sessions. 
But I can't re-trace the session of which trace file 
had been removed.

Is there any way that I can re-trace the session without 
restarting the session?

Umm.. Try this:

1) ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'filename' OFFLINE;
2) get rid of the offended datafile from OS
3) ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE 'filename(same as 1)';
4) RECOVER DATAFILE 'filename';
5) ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'filename' ONLINE;

Dear gurus:

I just added a data file to a big tablespace (11GB) that has only one
table. Unfortunately, when it was being backed up, the file head head
corrupted. I don't have any backup of this file. I found that there is
no data in this file yet. So I want to drop the file from the
tablespace. As I know, to drop a data file, I have to export the data,
drop the tablespace and recreate it, and then import data back to
the tablespace. However, since our users can't stop using the table,
I won't have enough down time to do that.

Is there anyway I can quickly drop a data file from a tablespace?

Don't tell me using alter database datafile '...' offline drop command.
It won't work.

I am working on Oracle 7.3.4.

Thanks,

Tom Xie
