Hi Anthony, RAC 11.2.0.3.1 two nodes on RHEL5 x64 (no vmware) 128 15k rpm FC disks on SAN: Two consecutive executions of DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CALIBRATE_IO (128, 10, iops, mbps, lat): max_iops = 58392 latency = 2 max_mbps = 891 max_iops = 58045 latency = 1 max_mbps = 877 We executed the procedure on an brand new empty database and there were few big (3T) bigfile empty tablespaces. The first time I executed the procedure there were only the system/sysaux/undo and the temp tablespaces and they were really small (this was right after the database was created), the result was completely different (and that could be really misleading): max_iops = 112431 latency = 0 max_mbps = 2060 Best regards Dimitre On 07/03/2012 22:08, anthony Sanchez wrote: > Hi Oracle folks, > I'm relatively new to the capacity planning business (and oracle-L) and am > looking for some other real world calibrate_io metrics to compare against. > How do these metrics compare to what you've seen? > > I know it ultimately comes down to SLA's and what our storage vendor's > promise (trying to get that info) but I'd like to have a frame of reference > for comparison. > > I guess what I'm looking for is whether what I'm seeing is a Ford (Opel for > some of you): > > 1) Focus > 2) Mustang > 3) Shelby GT500 > 4) other? :) > > Our system: > > Oracle 11.2.0.3 on RHEL5 x64 (virtualized via vmware) > HP Left hand P4500 G2 120TB storage cluster with 120 1,000 GB 7.2K MDL SAS > disk drives (RAID 10) > > *My script:* > set serveroutput on > > declare > l_latency integer; > l_iops integer; > l_mbps integer; > begin > dbms_resource_manager.calibrate_io (120,10,l_iops,l_mbps,l_latency); > dbms_output.put_line('I/O Ops/sec = '||l_iops); > dbms_output.put_line('Actual Latency = '||l_latency); > dbms_output.put_line('MB/sec = '||l_mbps); > end; > / > > *Results:* > sys@MUDRPRD> @calibrate_io.sql > *I/O Ops/sec = 6922* > *Actual Latency = 10* > *MB/sec = 655* > > begin > print_table(' > select max_iops,max_mbps,max_pmbps,latency,num_physical_disks from > DBA_RSRC_IO_CALIBRATE > '); > end; > / > > *MAX_IOPS : 6922* > *MAX_MBPS : 655* > *MAX_PMBPS : 372* > *LATENCY : 10* > *NUM_PHYSICAL_DISKS : 120* > ----------------- > -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
