6 Global Cache Service (GCS) Manages coherent access to data in buffer caches of all instances in the cluster Minimizes access time to data which is not in local cache access to data in global cache faster than disk access Implements fast direct memory access over high-speed interconnects for all data blocks and types Uses an efficient and scalable messaging protocol Never more than 3 hops New optimizations for read-mostly applications 6
7 7 Cache Hierarchy: Data in Remote Cache Local Cache Miss Datablock Requested Datablock Returned Remote Cache Hit
8 8 Cache Hierarchy: Data On Disk Local Cache Miss Datablock Requested Disk Read Grant Returned Remote Cache Miss
9 9 Cache Hierarchy: Read Mostly Local Cache Miss No Message required Disk Read
10 CPU Optimizations for read-intensive operations Read-only access No messages Direct reads Read-mostly access Message reductions Latency improvements Significant gains From 50-70% reductions measured
11 11 Performance of Cache Fusion Message:~200 bytes 200 bytes/(1 Gb/sec ) LMS Receive Process block Send Initiate send and wait Receive Block: e.g. 8K 8192 bytes/(1 Gb/sec) Total access time: e.g. ~360 microseconds (UDP over GBE) Network propagation delay ( wire time ) is a minor factor for roundtrip time ( approx.: 6%, vs. 52% in OS and network stack )
12 Fundamentals: Minimum Latency (*), UDP/GBE and RDS/IB Block size 2K 4K 8K 16K RT (ms) UDP/GE RDS/IB (*) roundtrip, blocks are not busy i.e. no log flush, no serialization ( buffer busy ) AWR and Statspack reports would report averages as if they were normally distributed, the session wait history which is included in Statspack in 10.2 and AWR in 11g will show the actual quantiles The minimum values in this table are the optimal values for 2-way and 3-way block transfers, but can be assumed to be the expected values ( I.e. 10ms for a 2-way block would be very high ) 12
13 13 Infrastructure: Network Packet Processing TX RX PROCESS (FG/LMS*) PROCESS (FG/LMS*) SOCKET LAYER (tx Buffers) SOCKET LAYER (rx Buffers) IP LAYER TCP / UDP IP LAYER TCP / UDP INTERFACE LAYER INTERFACE LAYER L2/L3 SWITCH
14 Infrastructure: Interconnect Bandwidth Bandwidth requirements depend on several factors ( e.g. buffer cache size, #of CPUs per node, access patterns) and cannot be predicted precisely for every application Typical utilization approx % in OLTP K blocks per sec to saturate 1 x Gb Ethernet ( 75-80% of theoretical bandwidth ) Generally, 1Gb/sec sufficient for performance and scalability in OLTP. DSS/DW systems should be designed with > 1Gb/sec capacity A sizing approach with rules of thumb is described in Project MegaGrid: Capacity Planning for Large Commodity Clusters ( 14
15 15 Infrastructure: Private Interconnect Network between the nodes of a RAC cluster MUST be private Supported links: GbE, IB ( IPoIB: 10.2 ) Supported transport protocols: UDP, RDS ( ) Use multiple or dual-ported NICs for redundancy and increase bandwidth with NIC bonding Large ( Jumbo ) Frames for GbE recommended if the global cache workload requires it. global cache block shipping versus small lock message passing.
16 16 Network Packet Processing: Layers, Queues and Buffers TX RX PROCESS (FG/LMS*) PROCESS (FG/LMS*) Rec() USER SOCKET LAYER (tx Buffers) SOCKET LAYER (rx Buffers) KERNEL Socket buffers Socket queues IP LAYER TCP / UDP IP LAYER TCP / UDP Software interrupts TX IP queues RX IP input queue INTERFACE LAYER INTERFACE LAYER Hardware interrupts RX queues, RX buffers Backplane pressure cpu L2/L3 SWITCH Ingress Buffers Egress Buffers
17 17 Infrastructure: IPC configuration Important Settings: Negotiated top bit rate and full duplex mode NIC ring buffers Ethernet flow control settings CPU(s) receiving network interrupts Verify your setup: CVU does checking Load testing eliminates potential for problems AWR and ADDM give estimations of link utilization Buffer overflows, congested links and flow control can have severe consequences for performance
18 18 Infrastructure: Operating System Block access latencies increase when CPU(s) busy and run queues are long Immediate LMS scheduling is critical for predictable block access latencies when CPU > 80% busy Fewer and busier LMS processes may be more efficient. monitor their CPU utilization Caveat: 1 LMS can be good for runtime performance but may impact cluster reconfiguration and instance recovery time the default is good for most requirements Higher priority for LMS is default The implementation is platform-specific
19 Common Problems and Symptoms Lost Blocks : Interconnect or Switch Problems System load and scheduling Contention Unexpectedly high global cache latencies <Insert Picture Here> 19
20 Miss-configured or Faulty Interconnect Can Cause: Dropped packets/fragments Buffer overflows Packet reassembly failures or timeouts Ethernet Flow control kicks in TX/RX errors lost blocks at the RDBMS level, responsible for 64% of escalations 20
21 21 Lost Blocks : NIC Receive Errors Db_block_size = 8K ifconfig a: eth0 Link encap:ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:DB:4B:A2:04 inet addr: Bcast: Mask: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets: errors:135 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:95 TX packets: errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
22 22 Lost Blocks : IP Packet Reassembly Failures netstat s Ip: total packets received 1201 fragments dropped after timeout 3384 packet reassembles failed
23 23 Finding a Problem with the Interconnect or IPC Top 5 Timed Events Avg %Total ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wait Call Event Waits Time(s)(ms) Time Wait Class log file sync 286,038 49, Commit gc buffer busy 177,315 29, Cluster gc cr block busy 110,348 5, Cluster gc cr block lost 4,272 4, Cluster cr request retry 6,316 4, Other Should never be here
24 24 Global Cache Lost block handling Detection Time in 11g reduced 500ms ( around 5 secs in 10g ) can be lowered if necessary robust ( no false positives ) no extra overhead Cr request retry event related to lost blocks It is highly likely to see it when gc cr blocks lost show up
25 25 Interconnect Statistics Automatic Workload Repository (AWR ) Target Avg Latency Stddev Avg Latency Stddev Instance 500B msg 500B msg 8K msg 8K msg Latency probes for different message sizes Exact throughput measurements ( not shown) Send and receive errors, dropped packets ( not shown )
26 Blocks Lost : Solution Fix interconnect NICs and switches Tune IPC buffer sizes 26
27 27 CPU Saturation or Long Run Queues Top 5 Timed Events Avg %Total ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wait Call Event Waits Time(s) (ms) Time Wait Class db file sequential read gc current block congested gc cr grant congested 1,312,840 21, User I/O 275,004 21, Cluster 177,044 13, Cluster gc current block 1,192,113 9, Cluster 2-way gc cr Congested block congested : LMS could 85,975 not dequeue 8,917 messages fast Cluster enough Cause : Long run queue, CPU starvation
28 High CPU Load: Solution Run LMS at higher priority (default) Start more LMS processes Never use more LMS processes than CPUs Reduce the number of user processes Find cause of high CPU consumption 28
29 29 Contention Event Waits Time (s) AVG (ms) % Call Time gc cr block 2-way 317,062 5, gc current block 2-way 201,663 4, gc buffer busy 111,372 3, CPU time 2, gc cr block busy 40,688 1, Global Contention on Data Serialization Its is very likely that CR BLOCK BUSY and GC BUFFER BUSY are related
30 Contention: Solution Identify hot blocks in application Reduce concurrency on hot blocks 30
31 31 High Latencies Event Waits Time (s) AVG (ms) % Call Time gc cr block 2-way 317,062 5, gc current block 2-way 201,663 4, gc buffer busy 111,372 3, CPU time 2, gc cr block busy 40,688 1, Expected: To see 2-way, 3-way Unexpected: To see > 1 ms (AVG ms should be around 1 ms) Tackle latency first, then tackle busy events
32 32 High Latencies : Solution Check network configuration Private Running at expected bit rate Find cause of high CPU consumption Runaway or spinning processes
33 33 Health Check Look for: Unexpected Events gc cr block lost Unexpected Hints Contention and Serialization gc cr/current block busy Load and Scheduling 52 ms gc current block congested 14 ms Unexpected high avg gc cr/current block 2-way 1159 ms 36 ms
34 Gigabit Ethernet Definition Max Bandwidth 1000 Mbits = 125 MB per sec, excluding header and pause frames 118 MB per sec Equates to Clusterware/RAC messages or k blocks RAC workload has a mix of short messages of 256 bytes and db_block_size of long messages For real life workload only 60-70% the bandwidth can be sustained For RAC type workload 40 MB per sec per interface is optimal load For additional bandwidth more interfaces can be aggregated 34

38 Aggregation Solutions Cisco Etherchannel based 802.3ad AIX Etherchannel HPUX Auto Port Aggregation SUN Trunking, IPMP, GLD Linux Bonding (only certain modes) Windows NIC teaming 38
39 39 Aggregation Methods Load balance/failover/load spreading spread on sends/serialize on receives Active/Standby Oracle Interconnect Requirement Both Send/Receive side load balancing NIC and Switch port failure detection
40 40 General Interconnect requirement Recommendations For OLTP Workloads Normally 1 Gbit Ethernet with redundancy (active/standby or load-balance) is sufficient For DW workloads Multiple GigE aggregated 10 Gig E or Infiniband
41 Oracle RAC Cluster Interconnect network selection Oracle Clusterware IP address associated with Private Hostname (provided during Install interview) Oracle RAC Database Private Network specified during the Install interview Cluster_interconnect parameter provided IP address 41
42 42 Jumbo Frames Non-IEEE standard Useful for NAS/iSCSI storage Network device inter-operability issues Configure with care and test rigorously Excerpt from alert.log: Maximum Tranmission Unit (mtu) of the ether adapter is different on the node running instance 4, and this node. Ether adapters connecting the cluster nodes must be configured with identical mtu on all the nodes, for Oracle. Please ensure the mtu attribute of the ether adapter on all nodes [and switch ports] are identical, before running Oracle.
43 43 UDP Socket Buffer (rx) Default settings adequate for majority of customers May need to increase allocated buffer size MTU size increases netstat reporting fragmentation and/or reassembly errors ifconfig reporting dropped packets or overflow
44 44 Cluster Interconnect NIC settings NIC driver dependent DEFAULTS GENERALLY SATISFACTORY Changes can occur between OS versions Linux 2.4 => 2.6 kernels,flowcontrol on e1000 drivers NAPI interrupt coalescence in 2.6 Confirm flow control: rx=on, tx=off Confirm full bit rate (1000) for the NICs Confirm full duplex auto-negotiate Ensure NIC names/slots identical on all nodes Configure interconnect NICs on fastest PCI bus Ensure compatible switch settings 802.3ad on NICs = 802.3ad on switch ports MTU=9000 on NICs = MTU=9000 on switch ports FAILURE TO CONFIGURE THE NICS AND SWITCHES CORRECTLY WILL RESULT IN SEVERE PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION AND NODE FENCING
45 45 The Interconnect and VLANs Interconnect should be dedicated non-routable subnet mapped to a single dedicated, non-shared VLAN If VLANs are trunked the interconnect VLAN traffic should not exceed the access switch layer Minimize the impact of Spanning Tree events Monitor the switch(es) for congestion Avoid QoS definitions that may negatively impact interconnect performance
