VirVit,

You haven't specified Oracle version and your tolerance for data loss. If
you can afford to lose the data in the most current redo log file, then I
would suggest 9i Data Guard in maximum performance mode (or Standby in 8i)
solution over the MM replication. The DG solution does not affect the
primary database performance. You can backup the standby database and use it
for recovery of the primary, too.

If you can't afford to lose any data, then you can still use the DG Maximum
Protection (in 9i) mode, but it will affect the performance to some extent.
However, in this case (no data loss) you have to enable MM Synchronous
Replication as opposed to the default Asynchronous mode. In the Synch mode,
the performance is worse compared to the Max Protection DG solution.

Here is a summary of the options:

Oracle 8i
|
+- Last redo data loss ok = Standby Database ~~ Performance=BEST
+- LAst redo data los NOT ok = MM Synchronous Replication ~~
Performance=VERY BAD

Oracle 9i
|
+- Last redo data loss ok = Data Guard Max Performance Mode ~~
Performance=BEST
+- LAst redo data los NOT ok =
 |
+- Option 1: MM Synchronous Replication ~~ Performance=VERY BAD
+- Option 2: Data Guard Max Protection Mode ~~ Performance=BAD

Therefore, you are better off using DG (or standby in 8i).

Pros:
(1) You can use standby datafiles to recover primary database
(2) You can take RMAN backups from the standby, reducing the CPU cycle
requirements in primary

Cons:
(1) In Max Protection Mode, the primary also halts if the standby has a
problem; not truly a HA solution. Ideally you need three or more servers -
one primary and two standbys to work perfectly = high cost

Summary: If your management can live with the loss of the last redo, your
best option is DG Max Performance (or Standby, in 8i), IMHO.

HTH.

 Hello!

 What do you think of additional backup method as multimaster replication?
 Isn't it a way to continue working normal, if main database crash and I
move
 all connections to another master site?

Re: Fedora (pink hat)

2003-12-14 Thread Michael Thomas
I agree.

I installed Fedora from scratch and Oracle 9.2.0.4 as
promised. It took the same time as RH9, just under 3
hours. I definately used puschitz.com tips and Fedora
required the rhel3_pre_install patch to get the
installer working.

Some tips about Fedora:
1) I was unable to run Fedora under 2.5.1 VMWare
server.

2) The iso download resulted in corrupted CDROM burns
many times, appx 10 coasters. 1st time I had this many
problems.
-- Fedora1 Linux CDROM sources (fast dload)
ftp://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/fedora/core/linux/1/en/iso/i386/
yarrow-i386-disc1.iso
yarrow-i386-disc2.iso
yarrow-i386-disc3.iso
Note: I got many corrupt downloads. I totally
recommend you burn CDROM from these iso and check
_ALL_ _THREE_ disks during the Fedora1 install. I made
at least 10 coasters.

3) The Fedora firewall rules were different (better)
and I updated my personal notes/instructions for
lokkit:

-- Firewall Configuration 

-- (lokkit, /etc/sysconfig/iptables,
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart)
Customize:
Trusted Devices: [ ] eth1, [ ] eth0  
Allow incoming: [ ] DHCP, [*] SSH, [ ] Telnet, 
[*] WWW (HTTP), [ ] Mail (SMTP), [ ] FTP 
Ports: 4443:tcp,:tcp,1521:tcp
(Note: Trusted devices disables the firewall, so I
don't do it. Fedora1 implements different firewall
jumping rules that break Apache and Oracle TNS/OCI, so
Fedora must use the ports shown).


4) The Fedora package list is slightly different. Here
is what I started with:
-- Package Group Selection (server)
[*] Administration Tools(default)
[*] DNS Name Server
[*] Development Tools
[*] Editors
[*] FTP Server
[*] GNOME Desktop Environment
[*] KDE Desktop Environment
[*] Printing Support(default)
[*] SQL Database Server
[*] Server Configuration Tools  (default)
[*] System Tools
[*] Text-based Internet (default)
[*] Web Server  (default)
[*] Windows File Server (default)
[*] X Window System
--
(Note: Fedora - I did not select [ ] Network Servers)
--

5) FYI: Some info on versions:
-- Test LINUX install
rpm -qa | grep kernel
results:
kernel-2.4.20-8 (RH93)
kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl (Fedora13)
--
rpm -qa | grep release
results:
redhat-release-9-3 (RH93)
fedora-release-1-3 (Fedora13)
--

6) Additional libraries I installed after packages
above (sorry I'm mixing my RH9 and Fedora notes here):

-- glibc patch rpm (RH9 RPMS directory, CD1/2)
(just use the Fedora version from its CD1/2/3 whenever
different from RH9)
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-libgcj-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
libpng10-1.0.13-8.i386.rpm  (1st of 2)
gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32.i386.rpm   (2nd of 2)
ncurses4-5.0-11.i386.rpm
pdksh-5.2.14-21.i386.rpm
nss_db-compat-2.2-20.i386.rpm
perl-CGI-2.81-88.i386.rpm (1st of 2, rh9 only)
indexhtml-1-2.noarch.rpm  (1st of 2, fedora13 only)
lynx-2.8.5-11.i386.rpm(2nd of 2)

-- fedora13 (Fedora1 RPMS directory, CD1/2/3)
tcl-8.3.5-93.i386.rpm 
compat-db-4.0.14-2.i386.rpm
compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
openmotif21-2.1.30-8.i386.rpm
setarch-1.0-1.i386.rpm

Note: You don't need the perl-CGI on Fedora.

7) Extra patch (than RH9) required for Fedora:
-- patch bug 3006854 (fedora only)
ftp://metalinkuid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/3006854/p3006854_9204_LINUX.zip

8) JVM installer patch from Werner's notes:

-- jvm patch for fedora v1.3 (only)


-- relink gcc so the older gcc will be used during the
Oracle installation 
-- (See Oracle Note:252217.1 for more information)
su - root
mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323
ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++

-- apply patch 3006854
cp
/home/oracle/oracle_9204_patches/metalink/p3006854_9204_LINUX.zip
/tmp
cd /tmp
unzip p3006854_9204_LINUX.zip
cd 3006854
sh rhel3_pre_install.sh

9) The workaround for ins_ctx error during install,
remember that you can 'tail make.log' and attempt to
modify the compiler command with suffix '-ldl', does
not work on Fedora. Therefore, you sneaky guys, just
follow Warner's notes and ignore until later when you
fix it with a patch.

10) Warner fixed a 'chown' error on the O'Reilly
notes.
I think this is wrong on O'Reilly' instructions (at
least for RH9 and Fedora installations):
chown -R oracle.dba /opt/ora9/*
No worries, Warner gets it correct.

I have my entire (constantly changing) notes available
if needed. 

That's a summary of the major differences (from RH9)
needed for Fedora and Oracle 9.2.0.4. Good Luck.

Regards,

Mike Thomas
