Oracle11g High Availability & RAC new features

Oracle continues to enhanced Real Application Clusters in Oracle11g and we see some exciting new features in RAC manageability and enhanced performance:

  • Oracle 11g RAC parallel upgrades - Oracle 11g promises to have a rolling upgrade features whereby RAC database can be upgraded without any downtime. Ellison first promised this feature in 2002, and it is a very challenging and complex 11g new feature.

  • Oracle RAC load balancing advisor - Starting in 10gr2 we see a RAC load balancing advisor utility. Oracle says that the 11g RAC load balancing advisor is only available with clients which use .NET, ODBC, or the Oracle Call Interface (OCI).

  • ADDM for RAC – Oracle will incorporate RAC into the automatic database diagnostic monitor, for cross-node advisories.

  • Optimized RAC cache fusion protocols - moves on from the general cache fusion protocols in 10g to deal with specific scenarios where the protocols could be further optimized. Source: Mark Rittman

  • Oracle 11g RAC Grid provisioning - The Oracle grid control provisioning pack allows you to “blow-out” a RAC node without the time-consuming install, using a pre-installed “footprint”. Oracle 11g OEM has have easy server blade installs where a binary footprint is tar’ed to the server blade and configured, without a cumbersome install process.

  • Hot patching - Zero downtime patch application.

  • Data Guard - Standby snapshot – The new standby snapshot feature allows you to encapsulate a snapshot for regression testing. You can collect a standby snapshot and move it into your QA database, ensuring that your regression test uses real production data.

  • Quick Fault Resolution - Automatic capture of diagnostics (dumps) for a fault.
