Recommended AIX Release for POWER8 is 7.1 TL03 SP3+APAR


IV56367 & VIOS release 2.2.3.3
AIX 6.1 TL9 SP3 + APAR IV56366 may also be used, but doesnt
support SMT8

As always, AIX 7 on POWER8 leverages full binary compatibility with


applications built on AIX 6 and AIX 5.

Recommended tunables for Oracle on POWER7 provide excellent out of

Approved hard partitioning technologies by Oracle include: LPAR (adds

Oracle 12C brings some interesting changes..

Multi-Tenant Container Databases (CDB)


a new EE option ($17,500 per core)
Allows multiple pluggable databases (PDB) per CDB
Processes, binaries, spfile, redo, undo, rman, dataguard all at CDB level
FlexASM
1-1 relationship between server and ASM nodes no longer necessary
Flex Cluster
HUB and LEAF design where HUBs run database instances and LEAF nodes run
applications
Automatic Data Optimization/Heat Map
set compression or tiering policies at the row or segment level
requires licensing Oracle Advanced Compression

#powersystems

New in Oracle 12C Multi-Tenant Container Database Consolidation


A root database shell is called a Container Database, or CDB
Each database within the CDB is called a Pluggable Database, or PDB
Processes, binaries, character set, spfile, SGA, PGA, redo, undo are common to all
PDBs
A limited # of parameters can be changed at the PDB level
Security is separate; access between databases in a PDB is through dblink
Applications connect to a listener-defined service; CDB is not visible to apps
Management tools like rman, dataguard are at the CDB level
Databases can be unplugged from one container and plugged into another as an
upgrade methodology
When is it implemented?
In 12C, Databases can be created as CDB or non-CDB
databases upgraded to 12C will use a non-CDB model by default
Databases created CDB with only 1 PDB per CDB will not be charged extra

Consolidation Levels Multi-Tenant


Multi-Tenant Container Database Consolidation
Multiple databases are consolidated as schemas under one physical database

Pros:
Efficient resource usage fewer processes running, shared SGA
Fewer databases to administer, back up, patch
No application changes needed
No direct connection between pluggable databases (better security than schema
consolidation)

Cons:
Separate license fee required - $17,500 per core
Requires same character set, software versions, and mostly the same parameters to be
used by all pluggable databases
Bugs from one pluggable database environment may impact others
No memory resource prioritization
All application environments must share the same maintenance window, backup and
recovery solution
Some features such as Streams, ADO, and pre-12C databases are not compatible with
CDBs
Application vendors may not permit use of a shared container database
Some performance issues may be exacerbated (such as combining multiple LGWRconstrained
workloads)

Consolidation Levels - Schema


Schema Consolidation
Multiple databases are consolidated as schemas under one physical
database
Pros:
Efficient resource usage fewer processes and fewer databases to
administer
Cons:
Not supported by most application vendors
Requires same parameters, character sets, and software versions to
be used by all schemas
May have issues with physical object name overlap preventing
consolidation or requiring application rewrites
No isolation of bugs - database outages caused by one application
affect all schemas
No memory resource prioritization
All application environments must share the same maintenance
window, backup and recovery solution
Potential security concerns

Consolidation Levels
Server Consolidation
Databases are isolated into separate VMs or partitions (or WPARs)
Pros:
Provides the maximum level of resource isolation and SLA
guarantees
Isolates and restricts Oracle licenses to the cores on which it runs
Cons:
Still requires maintenance of each partition and database

LPAR 1
CRM DB
LPAR 2
HR DB
Server

Database Consolidation
Multiple databases are configured in a single VM, partition, or
physical server
Pros:
Fewer OS images to maintain
Binaries may still be separate or consolidated
Cons:
Still requires maintenance of each database
All databases must be able to support a common SLA
Resource management needed

#powersystems

POWER Systems Flexibility Advantage with


Oracle Database
Implement and deploy an appropriate mix of RAC and non-RAC Oracle database
instances as well as application instances
Size individual database LPARs to match
specific CPU, I/O and memory needs

Isolate critical databases in different LPARs

Scale from very small to very large LPARs


and Oracle instances

Mix test and production on the same frame

Create independent security domains

Isolate database by department or other


Mix application and database on the same
machine

Deploy varying versions of Oracle

Server virtualization security is critical for DB workloads since many are


run in virtual environments

0
reported security breaches
on the PowerVM
hypervisor
The PowerVM hypervisor has never had a reported security
vulnerability and provides the bullet-proof security that
customers demand for mission-critical workloads
The VIOS, which is part of the overall virtualization has had 0
reported security vulnerabilities
Dare to compare search any security tracking DB and

Security of critical workload (SAP) deployments on Power is


beyond reproach
0
reported security breaches with
SAP and IBM DB2 or Oracle
on Power
SAP on Power versus competitive SAP
deployments study with over 54,150 clients
analyzed
The security for ERP systems, including SAP, can
be very challenging by nature, the mixture of
application modules, user profiles, plug-in
components and so on, provide many avenues for
security breaches

Power RAS is built into the platform so clients do not have to


dedicate scarce resources to prepare for downtime

Power exhibits only


6.6 minutes of planned
downtime per year

With built-in RAS, the platform comes close to maintaining


itself
67% of corporations now require a minimum of 99.99%
uptime or better for mission critical hardware, operating
systems and main line of business (LOB) applications
AIX on Power consistently has the least amount of downtime
in ITIC studies for several years
Industry leading availability for all workloads, including SAP
