Cloning an Oracle E-Business Suite system that uses an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) enabled database involves numerous different technology components and steps, and would therefore be a complex, error-prone process if carried out manually.
Companies rely on an Oracle grid infrastructure to provide a solid yet flexible base for their applications.
The only EBS R12 official benchmarks published are on IBM Power. Last Summer 2008 Oracle with IBM conducted a benchmark in the Oracle/IBM Joint solution Center in Montpellier (France). This benchmark was Telco oriented.
The IBM BladeCenter S can now be configured to run with Oracle DB RAC based on the recent IBM announcement (09/09/2008) of the IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Module. With this announcement, IBM made available the RSSM (RAIDed Shared Storage Module) which allows hard drives to be networked together as a SAN (Storage Area [...]

Last week the Joint Solution Center ORACLE/IBM (Montpellier, France) offered opportunity for Oracle EMEA Appstech Community to install Oracle Apps Release 12 in a MAA environnement. 21 participants over 5 days took part in the hands-on labs for installation Oracle E-business Suite R12.0.4 on different IBM hardware available ( Linux 64.bit, AIX and Z-Linux). Students [...]
I will not present RAC on this post but I would like to share with us some information on new architecture asked by customers named “RAC Extended/Stretched Cluster“.
The benefits of RAC are :
Full utilization of resources, from 1 to n nodes for one and ONLY one physical database.
Protection against Nodes failure …
But what’s happen in [...]
Last week I participated as Speaker of 2008 CSI Interchange IBM event at Montpellier the theme was “Optimizing IT together” where I presented this session “Oracle EBS 12 With MAA on IBM Power ” (see above).
Today 24/7 environnement, organization must keep critical business applications and information accessible at al times, while ensuring a predictable quality [...]
Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster) is used generally in a High Availability (HA 24/7 availability—Provide continuous uptime for database applications) and/or Scalability (Expand capacity by simply adding servers to your cluster) context. But another very useful but not wellknown but extremely interesting context is the NODE AFFINITY (called “Application Affinity” too).
We can implement [...]
