  2. Maximum Availability Architecture Oracle's Recipe For Building An Unbreakable System

  3. Agenda • Achieving High Availability • Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) Overview • MAA Components • Performance Considerations • MAA Test Lab • Q & A

  4. NetWorking Data Guard Storage B & R High Availability is … Best Practices RAC ? ? Oracle9iAS

  5. UnscheduledOutages ScheduledOutages System Faultsand Crashes HumanError Data andMedia Failures Maintenance &ContinuousOperations Data Center Disasters Inadequate SystemDesign, Testing & Process Causes of Downtime

  6. High Availability Goal • Design and validate the best, integrated High Availability solution • Unbreakable Architecture • Handle all outages at all tiers • Best Practices • Cookbook for prevention, avoidance, mitigation, and recovery • Configuration, operational, outage solutions, restore fault tolerance • Complete out-of-the-box high availability • Tested and validated solution Unbreakable Architecture + Best Practices = Maximum Availability

  7. Maximum Availability Architecture • Best Oracle High Availability Architecture • Blueprint for Database and Oracle9iAS • Guidelines for hardware and non-Oracle softwarebut platform, OS, storage, network, … independent • Evolves with new Oracle versions and features • Best Practices • Configuration and operational • Outages and detailed solutions • Restoring fault tolerance after an outage

  8. Oracle9iAS Oracle9iAS WAN Traffic Manager Dedicated Network Data Guard RAC RAC Primary Site Secondary Site Maximum Availability Architecture

  9. Secondary Site • Secondary Site is a Mirror of the Primary Site • Resolve unscheduled outages quickly and easily • Allow site-wide scheduled outages • Same Service Levels • Predictable performance and response time • Site transparency • Consistent Procedures and Processes • Reduces administrative complexity

  10. Highly Available DatabaseReal Application Clusters • Fast Failover • Protection from local site system failures • Faster than cold cluster failover solution • Fast-start fault recovery (instance failure MTTR) • Availability and Accessibility • Allows for scheduled outages • Add and remove nodes transparently • Transparent Application Failover (TAF) provides uninterrupted service

  11. Highly Available DatabaseReal Application Clusters • Higher Scalability • All system resources from all nodes are leveraged • Cache fusion eliminates need to partition data or modify the application – fully application transparent • Connection load balancing distributes connection requests from application tier • Manageability • Provides a single image of the database to manage

  12. Highly Available DatabaseOracle Data Guard • Data Protection • Protection from site failures, data failures, human errors, and corruptions • Protection modes balance availability with performance • Apply delay prevents user error propagation • Greater protection, performance, and manageability compared to remote mirroring solution • Offload processing from primary database system • Role Management • Switchover operation for scheduled outages • Failover operation for unscheduled outages

  13. Highly Available ApplicationOracle9iAS • Availability • Oracle9iAS J2EE (OC4J) and Web Cache clustering for protection against system outages • Automatic monitor and restart of failed processes • Application state preserved through failures • Add and remove nodes transparently • Scalability • Hardware network load balancer distributes client requests to Web Cache • Web Cache clustering for distributed caching and load balancing across multiple OC4J instances

  14. Clients Load Balancer Web Cache Application Server Tier OC4J Clusters Database Tier Highly Available ApplicationOracle9iAS

  15. Network Infrastructure • Wide Area Traffic Manager to direct client traffic to proper site • Network load balancer to distribute incoming requests • Dedicated, fast link between sites • Influences production database performance • Redundant components and paths • Network paths to the site and within the site

  16. Best Practices • Configuration • Detailed recommendations for Oracle software • Features to use, parameters to set • Guidelines for hardware and other software • Operational • Technical – e.g. Switchover and failover procedures • Logistical – e.g. Change management considerations • Emphasis on outages • Outages to monitor • Detailed steps to resolve outages • How to restore fault tolerance

  17. Best Practices Operational Configuration Monitor for Outage DatabaseOracle9iASOSStorageNetwork Restore Fault Tolerance Detect Outage Resolve Outage

  18. HA and Performance • Combining high availability and performance • Secondary site with identical configuration as primary site • Network bandwidth and latency between sites • Data Guard protection mode • Instance recovery time

  19. Network Bandwidth / Latency • Network bandwidth and latency between sites influences commit response time • Longer network latency will increase response time • Remote write = network round trip time + local write I/O time at secondary site • Network bandwidth should be greater than maximum redo generation rate

  20. Database Protection Modes • Balance performance with level of protection from human error, data failures, and disasters • Maximum Protection and Maximum Availability modes • No-data-loss protection, but can have a performance impact on production service levels • Maximum Performance mode • Data loss possible, but less impact on production service levels

  21. Instance Recovery Time • Balance performance with level of protection from system faults and crashes • Short instance recovery times can be achieved with negligible impact on performance • Provided sufficient I/O capacity exists to handle additional data block writes generated • Fast-start checkpointing makes instance recovery time-bounded and predictable
