Evaluating Storage Performance!

Posted by FatDBA on March 10, 2015

Being a DBA means you need to posses outstanding knowledge of DBA Subjects as obvious, but nowadays knowledge on storage/network/OS is a big surplus. This helps a modern day DBA to troubleshoot/rectify and helps to avoid million of hours wasted to identify DB issues when in fact there isn’t any.

This time i tried to discuss steps which one can take when there are waits likes – log file sync, db file async io submit, log file parallel write, control file parallel write and many of the parallel and sequential write observed in system.

Quick Fast Disk Test Results (DD Command):
———————————————
[oracle@dixitdb111 datafiles]$ time sh -c “dd if=/dev/zero of=dd-test-file bs=20k count=1000000 && sync”
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
8192000000 bytes (8.2 GB) copied, 26.4959 seconds, 309 MB/s

real 0m44.318s
user 0m0.278s
sys 0m19.410s
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/oracle

[oracle@dixitdb111 datafiles]$ ls -ltrh
-rw-r–r– 1 oracle oinstall 7.7G Jan 30 11:59 dd-test-file

ORION
————-
ORION (ORacle IO Numbers) imitates the type of I/O performed by Oracle databases, which makes possible for you to measure I/O performance for storage arrangements without actually installing Oracle. This is now included in the “$ORACLE_HOME/bin” directory of Database/Grid installations.

There are many of the options available for the orion to run.
e.g. oltp, olap and many more.
Below pasted is a beautiful explanation by Alex Gorbachev (ACED, IOUG, OAKTABLE Member & Renowned Blogger)
Link: http://www.uyoug.org.uy/eventos2013/OTNLAD2013-Benchmarking-Oracle-IO-Performance-with-ORION-by-Alex-Gorbachev.pdf

[oracle@dixitdb111 bin]$ ./orion -run oltp
ORION: ORacle IO Numbers — Version 11.2.0.3.0
orion_20150203_0800
Calibration will take approximately 2 minutes.
Using a large value for -cache_size may take longer.

This will result in few .csv and text files with IO results with some beautiful charts/graphs and tabular records for the runtime.

Reference:
————–
_hist.csv
Histogram of I/O latencies.
_iops.csv
Performance results of
small I/Os in IOPS.
_lat.csv
Latency of small I/Os in microseconds.
_mbps.csv
Performance results of
large I/Os in MBPS.
_summary.txt
Summary of the input parameters, along with the minimum small I/O latency (in secs),
the maximum MBPS, and the maximum IOPS observed.
_trace.txt
Extended, unprocessed output

I/O calibration is one of those magical option. This feature enables user to assess the performance of the storage subsystem, and determine whether I/O performance problems are caused by the database or the storage subsystem. Unlike other external I/O calibration tools that issue I/Os sequentially, the I/O calibration feature of Oracle Database issues I/Os randomly using Oracle datafiles to access the storage media, producing results that more closely match the actual performance of the database.

SELECT d.name,
i.asynch_io
FROM v$datafile d,
v$iostat_file i
WHERE d.file# = i.file_no
AND i.filetype_name = ‘Data File’;

File is DELETED but didn’t reclaim space in filesystem – LINUX

Posted by FatDBA on March 9, 2015

There are times when even after you deleted a file in Linux but that didn’t reclaim space in filesystem.
Below command shows that there are few of the files which are deleted from the system but are still active and still taking the space on the disk.

[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc]# /usr/sbin/lsof |grep -i deleted
oracle 11441 oracle 19w REG 253,2 1810 3129788 /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_diag_11441.trc (deleted)
oracle 11441 oracle 20w REG 253,2 126 3129795 /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_diag_11441.trm (deleted)
oracle 30157 oracle 19w REG 253,2 14182 3129684 /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_vkrm_30157.trc (deleted)
dd 32592 oracle 1w REG 253,2 24238593024 3129587 /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_ora_31778.trm (deleted)

Here the file is available under mount point — /opt/oracle and is still 86% full.

[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/11441/fd]# df -hk
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
31614888 6127104 23856156 21% /
/dev/mapper/VolGroup02-LogVol05
36124288 29165480 5123800 86% /opt/oracle
/dev/sda1 101086 15711 80156 17% /boot
tmpfs 1956756 0 1956756 0% /dev/shm
113.11.88.199:/vol/dixitdb053_BO
110100480 58354656 51745824 54% /db01
113.11.88.199:/vol/vol_dixitdb053_backup
104857600 55011648 49845952 53% /backup

Well, the space will be automatically reclaimed depending on the size of the file deleted.
Below are the steps in order to remove it instantly from the file system


Steps:
=============
1. Go to /proc directory which contains PID of all active processes and files.
2. login to respective PID

[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/11441/fd]# cd /proc/32592
[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/32592]# cd fd
[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/32592/fd]# pwd
/proc/32592/fd

3. Check if there is a link and in the end it says deleted.

[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/32592/fd]# ls -ltrh
total 0
lrwx—— 1 oracle oinstall 64 Mar 7 07:57 2 -> /dev/pts/1
l-wx—— 1 oracle oinstall 64 Mar 7 08:25 1 -> /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_ora_31778.trm (deleted)
lr-x—— 1 oracle oinstall 64 Mar 7 08:25 0 -> /dev/zero

4. Type > in the number that was shown in that line and it will release the space instantly.

[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/32592/fd]# > 1

[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/32592/fd]# ls -ltrh
total 0
lrwx—— 1 oracle oinstall 64 Mar 7 07:57 2 -> /dev/pts/1
l-wx—— 1 oracle oinstall 64 Mar 7 08:25 1 -> /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_ora_31778.trm (deleted)
lr-x—— 1 oracle oinstall 64 Mar 7 08:25 0 -> /dev/zero

5. verify it once again by listing the open files in the filesystem to see if there is still an open file with the deleted status.

Now the space is reclaimed and has been brought down to 0.

[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/32592/fd]# /usr/sbin/lsof |grep -i deleted
oracle 11441 oracle 19w REG 253,2 0 3129788 /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_diag_11441.trc (deleted)
oracle 11441 oracle 20w REG 253,2 0 3129795 /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_diag_11441.trm (deleted)
oracle 30157 oracle 19w REG 253,2 14792 3129684 /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_vkrm_30157.trc (deleted)
dd 32592 oracle 1w REG 253,2 0 3129587 /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/dixitdb/dixitdb/trace/dixitdb_ora_31778.trm (deleted)

And the mount point /opt/oracle usage went down too and reached to 17%.

[oracle@dixitdb053 /proc/32592/fd]# df -kh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
31G 5.9G 23G 21% /
/dev/mapper/VolGroup02-LogVol05
35G 5.3G 28G 17% /opt/oracle
/dev/sda1 99M 16M 79M 17% /boot
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
113.11.88.199:/vol/dixitdb053_BO
105G 56G 50G 54% /db01
113.11.88.199:/vol/vol_dixitdb053_backup
100G 53G 48G 53% /backup

[Mar 1, 2015 4:19:20 PM] Finishing UtilSession at Fri Nov 22 14:10:20 CET 2014

Solution Description
==================================
This error is simple. Firstly make sure DB and listener are down .

Solution 1:
some processes are still in running .to find out them try
ps -ef|grep db_name
then kill each process by using kill -9 1196 command

Solution 2:
check which process is locking this library file using below command and kill it:

$ /sbin/fuser /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/home/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/home/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1: 1196m 2215m

$ kill -9 1196

now run opatch apply and it will run without any issues this time.


Hope That Helps

Using _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION in case of corruption: How to recover & open the database ?

Posted by FatDBA on March 2, 2015

Recently while opening a TEST RAC database we found the database down and was not available, we tried to start the database but received communication errors and left us clueless. Due to some urgent POC activity scheduled on the database we started investigating the root cause right away for error.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

[oracle@testdbdixit ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.4.0 Production on Thu Feb 26 01:04:23 2015
Copyright (c) 1982, 2013, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

We tried to open the database in MOUNT mode and it reached to phase easily without any error.

SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
ORACLE instance started.

But the recovery of any kind got failed because of the database running in No Archivelog Mode & being a test instance there is also not any RMAN backups configured as well … #TotalDisaster 😦 😦

SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL;

When tried to start the cancel based incomplete recovery, it went successful but received few inconsistency errors for system datafile if we try to open the database in RESETLOGS mode.

As expected RESETLOGS mode failed too.

ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: ‘+DATA/DIXITDB/datafile/system.256.871197447’

Resolution:
====================
*Note: Underscore (hidden/undocumented) parameters should only be used after consent with Oracle Support and should always tried and tested in sandbox environments before applying them in prod environment.

There is a hidden parameter _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION=TRUE which will allow us to open database even though it’s not properly recovered.
ALTER SYSTEM SET “_allow_resetlogs_corruption”= TRUE SCOPE = SPFILE;
Tip: Also change the undo_management to “Manual”

After the two changes in the spfile you can open the database with:

sqlplus “/ as sysdba”
startup force

Note: Well there is no 100% guarantee that setting _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION=TRUE will open the database. However, once the database is opened, then we must immediately rebuild the database. Database rebuild means doing the following, namely: (1) perform a full-database export, (2) create a brand new and separate database, and finally (3) import the recent export dump. This option can be tedious and time consuming, but once we successfully open the new database, then we expect minimal or perhaps no data loss at all. Before you try this option, ensure that you have a good and valid backup of the current database.

Previous Settings:
SQL> show parameter undo

NAME TYPE VALUE
———————————— ———– ——————————
undo_management string AUTO
undo_retention integer 900
undo_tablespace string UNDOTBS1

SQL> alter system set undo_management=manual scope=spfile;
System altered.

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET “_allow_resetlogs_corruption”= TRUE SCOPE = SPFILE;
System altered.

SQL> shut immediate;

And after setting all the requisite parameters to defined values, we finally saw that ‘Database Opened’ message on the SQL prompt … 🙂 🙂

SQL> startup force;
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 1.6034E+10 bytes
Fixed Size 2269072 bytes
Variable Size 2449473648 bytes
Database Buffers 1.3556E+10 bytes
Redo Buffers 26480640 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Database altered.

SQL> archive log list
Database log mode No Archive Mode
Automatic archival Disabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 1
Current log sequence 2

SQL> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.

And a new incarnation of the database happened after opening database in RESETLOGS mode.

SQL> select INCARNATION#,RESETLOGS_TIME,STATUS, RESETLOGS_ID from v$database_incarnation;

INCARNATION# RESETLOGS STATUS RESETLOGS_ID
———— ——— ——- ————

2 09-FEB-15 PARENT 871197521
3 26-FEB-15 CURRENT 872646322

In Short:
=====================
1) Set _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION=TRUE in init.ora file.
2) Startup Mount
3) Recover database
4) Alter database open resetlogs.
5) reset undo_management to “manual” in init.ora file.
6) startup database
7) Create new undo tablespace (There is a strict need of changing the UNDO_MANAGEMENT to AUTO in Prod databases)
change undo_management to “AUTO” and undo_tablespace to “NewTablespace”
9) Bounce database.

Hope That Helps!

Online Patching & Bug Fixing — > : Bug 16342845 : EXCESSIVE CPU IN DBW PROCESSES FOR FAST OBJECT CHECKPOINTSDB

Posted by FatDBA on March 2, 2015

During further investigation we found that all the Database Writers started consuming high resources and waits on ‘DB FILE ASYNC I/O SUBMIT’ event and all rest of the database sessions started waiting on ‘enq: KO – Fast Object Checkpoint’

We have one most critical production system running on oracle 11.2.0.3 on the top of RHEL.
Recently we started experiencing a very bizarre and weird issue where applications timeouts happens intermittently and during that specific period extremely slow IO operations happens at the database level.

While investigation found that during the issue DB started throwing huge and frequent waits on ‘enq: KO – fast object checkpoint’ and ‘db file async I/O submit’ events and all of the queries in the database during the period starts snailing.
At the same time all the 8 available DBWR processes started waiting on “db file async I/O Submit” wait event and seems takes time to write blocks to the disk and this leads to late check-pointing in the system which in turn slow down database.

DB_Waits_Stats-duringSlowness-onetmproduction___mmma

From AWR
—————
foreground wait event
enq: KO – fast object checkpoint — 70% of the DB time.

background wait event
db file async I/O submit — 90% of bg time

Wait Event Histogram
———————-
db file async I/O submit — 100% >1s (% of waits)
enq: CR – block range reuse ckpt — 100% >1s (% of waits)
enq: KO – fast object checkpoint — 100% >1s (% of waits)
enq: RO – fast object reuse — 100% >1s (% of waits)

After weeks of probing and hours of analyzing system state dumps, Hang analyze and writer process traces we reached to a conclusion that we have strike by a Bug 16342845 : EXCESSIVE CPU IN DBW PROCESSES FOR FAST OBJECT CHECKPOINTSDB

Below mentioned are steps performed to apply the recommended patch.
PRIMARY: disable log shipping
STANDBY: stop MRP

1. Disable Log Shipping on Primary Database.
2. Stop MRP process on Physical Standby Database.
3. Apply the patch first in to Physical Standby (online)
4. Monitor the performance on the Phy STDBY db.
5. Will apply the patch on Logical Standby Database.
6. Monitor the logical database performance.
7. Will apply the patch on Primary Database.
8. Monitor the system performance.
9. Start Log shipping on Primary DB end.
10.Start MRP process on Standby database.

Step 1.
Disable log shipping on Primary DB.

Step 3:
Opatch online apply – common to all environments.

Recommendations
1. Take binaries backup (ORACLE_HOME).
2. Take Full DB Backup.
3. Check Opatch Prerequisites in order to identify and resolve any patch conflicts.
