Price/Performance World Record with TPC-C Benchmark using Oracle Linux and HP ML350

Today, Oracle announced a new TPC-C benchmark result on an HP ProLiant ML350 with the best ever price/performance. This result sets a world record in the price/performance category, which measures the cost per transaction of the configuration benchmarked. It demonstrates that Oracle Database not only provides customers with a highly performant and scalable data management solution, but can also deliver unparalleled cost savings with record-breaking performance on HP ProLiant systems, ideally suited to small and medium sized businesses (SMB).

Achieving 100,926 transactions per minute with a price/performance of $.78/tpmC, Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Standard Edition One delivered 45 percent more performance at 14 percent less cost than its nearest competitor. To set this new TPC-C price performance record, Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Standard Edition One was run on an HP ProLiant ML350 server with one Intel Quad-Core Xeon 2.6 GHz processor and HP StorageWorks arrays.

The operating system used was Oracle Enterprise Linux, which is fully compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and supported under the Oracle Unbreakable Linux program. Together, Oracle and HP delivered the best price per transaction per minute ever achieved for a TPC-C benchmark.

Preventing PuTTY timeouts

Just found a great tip to prevent timeouts of PuTTY sessions. I'm fine with timeouts by the host, but in our case the firewall kills sessions after 30 minutes of inactivity... When using PuTTY to ssh to your Linux/Unix servers, be sure to use the feature to send NULL packets to prevent a timeout. I've set it to once every 900 seconds, i.e. 15 minutes... See screenshot on the right.

Removing VGs or LVs from LVM

While are many excellent tutorials about creating and using LVM on Linux, not may show you how you can remove disks from LVM Volume Groups (VG) and reclaim storage or how to remove a Logical Volume (LV) from your LVM set-up. Here is what I did: Use -t to TEST ANY LVM action first! We are going to release 1 TB from LVM. The Volume group was extended with 1 TB storage to serve as a cheap NFS/CIFS file server when setting up our data center. It is now deprecated and replaced by a NAS so it's no longer needed. 1) check LVM; note the four 256 GB LUNs [root@server ~]# pvscan -v Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices Wiping internal VG cache Walking through all physical volumes PV /dev/sdb1 VG vgdata lvm2 [50.00 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdc1 VG vgdata lvm2 [256.00 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdd1 VG vgdata lvm2 [256.00 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sde1 VG vgdata lvm2 [256.00 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdf1 VG vgdata lvm2 [256.00 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdg ...

Dell Linux - OMSA Hardware Monitoring

Just getting started using Dell's OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) on our Oracle Linux platform. There are some confusing instructions going around so it's not immediately clear what to do, hence my blogging here. :) There is a site on Dell - Hardware Monitoring , as well as a wiki with instruction on how to setup their OMSA tooling using yum or up2date. [update]My first update for their instructions: be sure your server has Internet access, as most servers will use a proxy or so. use export http_proxy=http://yourproxy.example.com:port to configure it just for the session, and setup up2date to use an HTTP proxy by editing the settings in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date .
