Retrive Exadata Version and Configuration Information


Option 1: Use DBMS_LOB package to get cell configuration information, as column CONFVAL is CLOB
spool confval.txt and search for text make in text file you will see get value in tag <makeModel>  </makeModel>

set pagesize 0
SELECT dbms_lob.substr(CONFVAL,4000,1) from V$CELL_CONFIG;
spool off

This option is good if you don't  have privilege to access storage node and can't execute command Cellcli. You would be able to find out interleaving attribute about Celldisk also as follows.

<interleaving>none</interleaving>

Option 2:
From Tanel Podder Blog. I have modified some format to display Make Model properly.
COL cv_cellname       HEAD CELL_NAME        FOR A30
COL cv_cell_path      HEAD CELL_PATH        FOR A30
COL cv_cellversion    HEAD CELLSRV_VERSION  FOR A20
COL cv_flashcachemode HEAD FLASH_CACHE_MODE FOR A20
COL make_model FOR A70

SELECT cellname cv_cellname
, CAST(extract(xmltype(confval), '/cli-output/cell/releaseVersion/text()') AS VARCHAR2(20))  cv_cellVersion
, CAST(extract(xmltype(confval), '/cli-output/cell/flashCacheMode/text()') AS VARCHAR2(20))  cv_flashcachemode
, CAST(extract(xmltype(confval), '/cli-output/cell/cpuCount/text()')       AS VARCHAR2(10))  cpu_count
, CAST(extract(xmltype(confval), '/cli-output/cell/upTime/text()')         AS VARCHAR2(20))  uptime
, CAST(extract(xmltype(confval), '/cli-output/cell/kernelVersion/text()')  AS VARCHAR2(30))  kernel_version
, CAST(extract(xmltype(confval), '/cli-output/cell/makeModel/text()')      AS VARCHAR2(90))  make_model
FROM v$cell_config WHERE conftype = 'CELL' ORDER BY cv_cellname

Check cell smart scan is enables for ASM disk or not:Make sure to connect ASM instance, if you connect to DB instance you won't find value.

SELECT dg.name AS diskgroup, SUBSTR(a.name,1,24) AS name, SUBSTR(a.value,1,24) AS value FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP dg, V$ASM_ATTRIBUTE a
WHERE dg.group_number = a.group_number and a.NAME = 'cell.smart_scan_capable';

Amazon RDS | Amzon Redshift | Big Data | Boost Performance with Amazon ElastiCache

Amazon RDS with Amazon ElastiCache for Performance: Amazon RDS supports - Oracle, MS SQL server, MySQL, Maria DB and PostgreSQL. It is a managed service offered by the Amazon.  Couple of customers have observed the performance issues during their journey with Amazon RDS with Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Maria DB and PostgreSQL. Amazon cloud engineers / database consultants / database architect and Amazon supports worked to-gather to boost the Amazon RDS performance by tuning the RDBMS configuration parameters using Amazon RDS parameter group , and have not achieved the SLA for Amazon RDS .  Amazon RDS with Multi AZ and Read Replica: Some of the the AWS professionals have suggested for vertical scaling of the Amazon RDS . It should works and its absolutely correct. In my opinion, it would be a good idea to think about the Amazon ElastiCache service with Amazon RDS for better performance and cost optimization also rather than vertically scaling the Amazon RDS . I would sug...

Needs for Graph Database

Needs for Graph Database: We are living in the era of data, data is treated more precise than gold and platinum. Most of the enterprises are trying to get more insight about the data they have it as an operational / warehouse / analytical.   Ref.: https://dist.neo4j.com/wp-content/uploads/graph-example.png To get more insight into the data, it is required to see the relationship among the data points. The challenge is how to establish the relationship among data points and the answers is Graph database. Relational databases can't help to establish the relationship among data points, due to their rigid schema, and consistent schema. Relational Database issues for data set: Number of Joins:  While fetching data from relational databases, we join many tables, these joins are complex, and consume considerable amount of computing resources, which increase the query response times. Self- joins: For database ware house / business intelligence systems using RDBMS, self-JOIN are ...
