Over the last many years, some of you have invited me to attend conferences in India, and talk about Oracle RAC and performance. I have not had an opportunity to make it to conferences in India, until now 🙂
I am excited to announce that I will be participating in OTN sponsored Oracle ACE Director’s tour in India (April 23rd to May 2nd 2016), and presenting ( with deep dive demos ) about RAC, performance, and in-memory. This is a golden opportunity for you to learn some of the internal stuff that I talk about in my class too.
Refer http://otnyathra.com for further details.
I am also excited to be in the tour with Connor McDonald, Biju Thomas, Sai, and many others. Don’t forget to send an email to Sai, the conference rooms will fill out quickly.
Did I mention deep dive demos? 🙂
Update 1: Updating the presentation slides and scripts. Do ask if I miss any script that you are looking for 🙂

I will be talking in Rocky Mountain Oracle User Group Training Days 2015( http://www.rmoug.org), with live demos (hopefully there will be no failures in the demo). My topics are:
Feb 17: Deep dive: 3:15PM to 5:15PM – RAC 12c optimization: I will discuss RAC global cache layer in detail with a few demos. You probably can’t find these deep Global Cache layer details anywhere else 🙂
Feb 19: Wednesday: 2:45PM to 3:45PM – Advanced UNIX tools: I will discuss both Solaris and Linux advanced tools to debug deep performance issues.
Feb 19: Wednesday: 12:15PM – 1:15PM – Exadata SIG panel with Alex Fatkulin.
Come to Denver. Come on, it won’t be cold ( I think 🙂 )

After collaborating with many performance engineers in a RAC database, I have come to realize that there are common pattern among the (mis)diagnosis. This blog about discussing those issues. I talked about this in Hotsos 2014 conference also.
Golden rules
Here are the golden rules of RAC performance diagnostics. These rules may not apply general RAC configuration issues though.
- Beware of top event tunnel vision
- Eliminate infrastructure as an issue
- Identify problem-inducing instance
- Review send-side metrics also
- Use histograms, not just averages
Looks like, this may be better read as a document. So, please use the pdf files of the presentation and a paper. Presentation slide #10 shows indepth coverage on gc buffer busy* wait events. I will try to blog about that slide later (hopefully).

Introduction
I blogged about DFS lock handle contention in an earlier blog entry. SV resources in Global Resource Directory (GRD) is used to maintain the cached sequence values. I will further probe the internal mechanics involved in the cached sequences. I will also discuss minor changes in the resource names to support pluggable databases (version 12c).
SV resources
Let’s create an ordered sequence in rs schema and then query values from the sequence few times.
create sequence rs.test_seq order cache 100;
select rs.test_seq.nextval from dual; -- repeated a few times.
...
/
21
Sequence values are permanently stored in the seq$ dictionary table. Cached sequence values are maintained in SV resources in GRD and SV resource names follows the naming convention to include object_id of the sequence. I will generate a string using a small helper script and we will use that resource name to search in the GRD.
SELECT DISTINCT '[0x'
||trim(TO_CHAR(object_id, 'xxxxxxxx'))
||'][0x'
|| trim(TO_CHAR(0,'xxxx'))
|| '],[SV]' res
FROM dba_objects WHERE object_name=upper('&objname')
AND owner=upper('&owner') AND object_type LIKE 'SEQUENCE%'
/
Enter value for objname: TEST_SEQ
Enter value for owner: RS
RES
---------------------------
[0x165d7][0x0],[SV]

A quick note, Expert Oracle RAC book co-written by me is available now: Expert Oracle RAC 12c. I have written about 6 chapters covering the RAC internals that you may want to learn 🙂 I even managed to discuss the network internals in deep, after all, network is one of the most important component of a RAC cluster.

This is a quick note about reverse path filtering and impact of that feature to RAC. I encountered an interesting problem recently with a client and it is worth blogging about it, with a strong hope that it might help one of you in the future.
Problem
Environment is 11.2.0.2 GI, Linux 5.6. In a 3 node cluster, Grid Infrastructure (GI) comes up cleanly in just one node, but never comes up in other nodes. If we shutdown GI in first node, we can start the GI in second node with no issues. Meaning, GI can be up in just one node at any time.
System Admins indicated that there are no major changes, only few bug fixes. Seemingly, problem started after those bug fixes. But there were few other changes to the environment /init.ora parameter change etc. So, the problem was not immediately attributable to just OS changes.
