Data center managers have learned that virtualization environment service- level agreements (SLAs) can live and die on the behavior of the storage supporting them. Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance products are rapidly becoming the systems of choice for some of the world’s most complex virtualization environments for three simple reasons. Their cache-centric architecture combines DRAM and flash, which is ideal for multiple and diverse workloads. Their sophisticated multithreading processing environment easily handles many concurrent data streams and the unparalleled

  • Performance Tuning the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance for Microsoft Exchange 2013
    Performance Tuning the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance for Microsoft Exchange 2013 ORACLE WHITE PAPER | MARCH 2016 Table of Contents Introduction 2 Performance Tuning 3 Tuning the File System 4 Tuning the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance 5 Log Volume Characteristics and Challenges 5 Database Volumes 6 Performance Test Procedure 6 Latency in Exchange Volume Types 8 Log Volume Blocksize for Latency 9 Database Volume Blocksize for Latency 10 Selecting Volume Blocksize for Throughput 12 Log Volume Blocksize for Throughput 12 Database Volume Blocksize for Throughput 12 ZFS Database Blocksize 13 Enabling Compression 13 Conclusion 17 Introduction The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is formed by a combination of advanced hardware and software architecture with the purpose of offering a multiprotocol storage subsystem. The unified storage model enables you to simultaneously run a variety of application workloads while benefitting from advanced data services. The first-class performance characteristics of the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance are illustrated by the results of industry-standard benchmarks like SPC-1, SPC-2 and SPECsfs. As a unified storage solution, the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance provides an excellent base for building Windows solutions with iSCSI or Fibre Channel block storage for Microsoft Exchange Server, for example, and NFS or SMB file storage for Microsoft Windows client access. This paper discusses the performance tuning available as part of the infrastructure of the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance to support Microsoft Exchange Server in various scenarios. The test procedure used throughout this document is based on the Microsoft Exchange Solution Reference Program tools – JETstress – which is designed to simulate Microsoft Exchange Server disk I/O load and to produce performance statistics on the resulting operations.

One of the tools available to the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance administrator is the Shadow Migration feature. Shadow Migration allows the administrator to move data from legacy systems via NFS and to serve the file systems that were previously held on a legacy system, or systems to the same client base, with the added features and abilities unique to Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance. For the purpose of this document the file systems are defined as follows: » Legacy file system. This is the definitive data source at the beginning of the data migration process that resides on legacy storage. » Replacement file system. This is the migration destination that typically resides on the replacement storage.

One of the nice things about using RPM is that the packages you manage don't end up going into some kind of black hole. Nothing would be worse than to install, upgrade, and erase several different packages and not have a clue as to what's on your system. In fact, RPM's query function can help you get out of sticky situations like: * You're poking around your system, and you come across a file that you just can't identify. Where did it come from? * Your friend sends you a package file, and you have no idea what the package does, what it installs, or where it originally came from. * You know that you installed XFree86 a couple months ago, but you don't know what version, and you can't find any documentation on it. https://www.gratisexam.com/ The list could go on, but you get the idea. The rpm -q command is what you need.
