Hi,
Not an answer to your question, but I'm wondering in how many places
using Exadata, it are the system admins who are responsible for
maintaining the OS on the exadata (or the storage admins to maintain the
ASM storage)?
In my experience, it are the DBA's who are responsible for managing the
entire box: databases, storage and os. (and for patching it).
There is however, a small possibility that my experience is not
representative ;-)
So I would love to hear from the others on this list what their
experiences are.
Kind regards,
Freek D'Hooge

Well my Evil plan started with getting this customer off of running
Oracle on windows servers. In this plan; I got buy in on Exadata to do
the consolidation. There was a wrinkle in my plan, this shop has no
experience in Linux or Solaris so the Windows admins started
complaining, bla bla bla. In the end it appears the deputy CIO has
shot down my plan. I’m not one to wine; so if the issue is “what do we
have experience with” is a major driver then this shop is also in
possession of a Z10 a top notch support staff and the associated
infrastructure.
Now I have to go to my Evil backup plan, migrate their databases to
12C PDB’s on the Z10. My director (25 years mainframe system
programmer), and two Oracle DBA’s (with over 35 years mainframe
experience each) all love this ides. My director is going to get some
system stats on the Z10 to see if there is enough there to host our
Oracle Databases. However before I drive this train too far down the
track I need a bit of advice.
1) Does Oracle 12C and DB2 coexists nicely on Z/OS?
2) Can you point me to any high level papers on 12C on Z/OS?
3) Are there any technical issues out there that we should consider
beyond available system resources?
