Happy Canada Day Boxing Day

eric — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 02:19:35 +0000

Ok, a day late with this one… recorded a bunch of tracks yesterday (Canada Day, July 1 2010) and edited down to this rather interesting video.

Yes, way off topic… have also recorded a bunch of segments on VMWare, and in 2 weeks will put together some slides/animations to explain virtual networking in VMWare. May also demonstrate Citrix XenServer and Oracle VM depending on time. VirtualBox just has not caught my attention partly because of it’s lacklustre performance and stability. I haven’t the time to play around with crashing junk.

Of course, I do have time to play around with garden hose junk! =)

Hope you enjoy!

Oracle completes acquisition of Sun – Analysis of ZFS vs ASM vs Clusterware vs Sun Solaris Cluster

I quickly viewed all the webcasts that were available today and from what I can see, Oracle Grid Infrastructure is here to stay along with Oracle VM, and I guess Sun Cluster (Solaris Cluster) goes into legacy mode. No mention of ZFS, but enough mention of ASM that I suspect pieces of ZFS algorithms will be picked off and added to ASM.

Of course, nobody can predict the future…

More than one database in a single RAC cluster

This is a video demonstrating the creation of a second database of 2 instances in an Oracle RAC of 4 nodes, coexisting with a pre-existing 4-instance database. I created this video to demonstrate an answer in response to a forum question:
