How to Manage CPU Pools on Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform
These topics describe how to use OAKCLI to create and manage CPU pools on
Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform.
About Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform
You can use Oracle VM to optimize your system resource use for databases and
applications.
You can deploy a virtualized platform on Oracle Database Appliance. The virtual
platform is based on Oracle VM. With Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform,
you can use the capabilities of Oracle VM to effectively allocate resources to
databases and applications running on the same physical Oracle Database Appliance.
Rather than simply disabling unnecessary server cores, you can use the excess
capacity to host other workloads. This enables consolidation of both databases and
applications, while retaining the ease of deployment and management associated with
Oracle Database Appliance.
Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform is supported on all versions of Oracle
Database Appliance hardware. All templates and operating systems supported by
Oracle VM are also supported on Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform.
Supported operating systems include Linux, Windows, and Solaris x86.
Note:
All new systems are currently shipped from the factory with the
nonvirtualized ISO image
If you are currently on the nonvirtualized deployment of Oracle Database
Appliance, and you want to use Oracle Database Appliance as a virtualized
platform, then you must reimage the servers with the Oracle Database
Appliance Virtualized Platform ISO image.
Why Virtualize?
Oracle Appliance Manager (oakcli) makes it easy to setup and manage the virtualized
environment with little virtualization expertise. With the Virtualized Platform
deployment, you can consolidate entire multi-tier environments within a single Oracle
Database Appliance system.
The following are some of the advantages of deploying Oracle Database Appliance
with the Virtualized Platform option:
•
Deploy database and applications in a single hardware environment.
•
Use the pre-configured VM application templates to rapidly deploy database and
applications.
•
Run the database in a virtual machine (ODA_BASE) with direct access to storage
(for native performance).
•
Control licensed CPUs by configuring ODA_BASE domain with the required
number of CPU cores (and memory).
