Oracle has provided several tools and utilities to monitor and test a RAC implementation. Tools such as ORION help benchmark performance of the storage component, the HBA and controllers to help decide between iSCSI and SAN storage. While iSCSI used TCP for data transport SAN used FC for data transport. What is better, how do you find out? Tools such as OSWATCHER, RACDDT, LTOM, OEM will help collect OS performance statistics while performance testing your application in a RAC environment. This presentation will look under the hood at these tools and utilities and help understand its functions, its usage and the kind of information it provides. We will look at some real life test case examples and diagnose the outputs. The presentation provides an opportunity to listen and learn from real data and performance metrics.
