What's Happening With Oracle These Days?
Inquiring minds want to know! Well, the productiond db AERO has really settled down. It's fine tuned, mostly set up well, and Sundown has been reliable since the hardware problem was fixed. My new goal is to just keep the thing running continuously for awhile and see how it does. The one item that still needs more polish is the RMAN backups. We're taking RMAN backups every day, but we need to coordinate the disk backups with the tape backups, then remove those backups we no longer need from the disks. I'm on Chapter 2 of my new sleep inducing - RMAN Backup book. It is a really good book, but you have to admit it's a pretty dry subject!
Our 10gR1 database is having some issues - mainly, the Computrition users are going crazy because their application is sooooo slooooow. We've been looking over the db for bottlenecks, but nothing too definitive has come up yet. A couple of tablespaces were pretty full, so I gave them some more room to work. Also, it looks like our server is a bit short of RAM, so we're looking at throwing some hardware at the problem, too. As of yesterday, we're getting good RMAN backups now.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the way things are set up right now. This Summer I hope to get 10gR2 running on Maverick, which we'll use for a development instance and also for testing our backups. Dale and I continue to find more and more things the new Enterprise Manager can help us with, so we'll be exploring that some more, too.
