Oracle Database Patch Sets Starting With 11.2.0.2

Important Changes to Oracle Database Patch Sets Starting With 11.2.0.2 (Doc ID 1189783.1)

What has changed?
Packaging: Starting with the first patch set for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2), Oracle Database patch sets are full installations of the Oracle Database software. In past releases, Oracle Database patch sets consisted of a set of files that replaced files in an existing Oracle home. Beginning with Oracle Database 11g Release 2, patch sets are full installations that replace existing installations.

Because Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and later patch sets are a full installation, Oracle patch sets are now released as several installation bundles, just as are the base releases:

•Oracle Database Server
•Oracle Grid Infrastructure
•Oracle Database Client
•Companion/examples
•Oracle Gateways

Simplified new installation: Because the release 11.2.0.2 patch set is a full installation package, if you are installing Oracle Database on a system without an existing Oracle Database installation, then you can simply install the release 11.2.0.2 patch set. You are no longer required to install the base release, and then apply the patch set.

Upgrade process: Beginning with the release 11.2.0.2 patch set, you have two ways to apply a patch set (documented in the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Upgrade Guide):

•Out-of-place upgrade – This is Oracle's recommended way to apply a patch set. You install the patch set into a new, separate Oracle home location. After you install the patch upgrade, you then migrate the Oracle Database from the older Oracle home. The patch set upgrade is now the same process to upgrade from one version to another. Oracle recommends that you perform an out-of-place patch set upgrade, because this patch set application option requires much less downtime, and is safer because it does not require patching an ORACLE_HOME that is already being used in production. However, you must ensure that you have sufficient free disk space to accommodate two Oracle home directories at the same time.

•In-place upgrade – You install the patch set into an existing Oracle home location. Oracle recommends that you select this option only if you do not have sufficient free disk space to perform an out-of-place upgrade, as the upgrade removes the existing Oracle installation. This patch option requires less disk space, but requires more time, and is riskier, because if you encounter an installation failure, then you must recover the entire existing Oracle home from a backup. If you choose this more risky option, then before you begin the patch installation, complete the following tasks:

◦Make a complete backup of your existing Oracle home
◦Read through the entire Upgrade Guide section dealing with in-place upgrades


Note: All Oracle Grid Infrastructure patch set upgrades must be out-of-place upgrades, in which you install the patch set into a new Grid home. In-place patch set upgrades are not supported.

Oracle Patch PSU vs CPU

As of 14 July 2009, Oracle is now introducing a new method for patching, patch set updates, or PSU.  According to MOSC notes 854428.1 and 850471.1, Oracle PSU is a new patching strategy whereby the DBA can choose only "recommended" and "proactive" patches, instead of all of the patches in a quarterly Critical Patch Update (CPU).

An Oracle PSU contains recommended bug fixes and "proactive" cumulative patches, a nice change that makes it simple for the DBA to chose to apply "priority" patches.

IO Bench Marking

1 dd
For a quick and dirty test of your disk performance, you can time writes performed by the dd command.

$ time sh -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=dd-test-file bs=8k count=1000000 && sync"

This is no reflection of how disk performance will look when being accessed by Oracle systems.


2 ORION
ORION (ORacle IO Numbers) mimics the type of I/O performed by Oracle databases, which allows you to measure I/O performance for storage systems without actually installing Oracle.
Step 1
Make disks as follows:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u05/utilities/orion/disk1  bs=8192  count=10240
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u05/utilities/orion/disk2  bs=8192  count=10240
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u05/utilities/orion/disk3  bs=8192  count=10240
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u05/utilities/orion/disk4  bs=8192  count=10240
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u05/utilities/orion/disk5  bs=8192  count=10240
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u05/utilities/orion/disk6  bs=8192  count=10240
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u05/utilities/orion/disk7  bs=8192  count=10240
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u05/utilities/orion/disk8  bs=8192  count=10240
Step 2
Next, create a file to hold the LUN configuration. In this case I will call my test orion_test1, so my LUN configuration file must be called orion_test1.lun. Make sure it is in the same directory as the ORION executable. The file should contain a list of the luns used in the test.

/u05/utilities/orion/disk1
/u05/utilities/orion/disk2
/u05/utilities/orion/disk3
/u05/utilities/orion/disk4
/u05/utilities/orion/disk5
/u05/utilities/orion/disk6
/u05/utilities/orion/disk7
/u05/utilities/orion/disk8
Step 3
Verify that the all volumes specified in the input file, are accessible using the command dd as follows.
dd if=/u05/utilities/orion/disk1 of=/dev/null bs=32k count=1024
Step 4
Verify that your platform has the necessary libraries installed to do asynchronous I/Os. The Orion test is completely dependent on asynchronous I/O. On Linux and Solaris, the library libaio must be in the standard lib directories or accessible through the shell environment's library path variable (usually LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH, depending on your shell).
Step 5
Run test as follows:
 ./orion -run oltp
./orion -run dss


3. DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CALIBRATE_IO
The CALIBRATE_IO is used to measure the IO bench marking after Oracle database is created.

There are a few restrictions associated with the procedure and execute the below noted script (as system user) to verify the prerequisites are satisfied.
SQL>@check_calibrate_io_prerequisites.sql.

Execute calibirate_io.sql (as system user) to calibrate:
SQL>@calibirate_io.sql.

Execute list_calibirate_io.sql (as system user) to list the calibrated values:
SQL>@list_calibirate_io.sql

Oracle数据库的不完全恢复方式

本文主要介绍以下四种oracle数据库的不完全恢复方式的含义与区别：

1. recover database using backup controlfile
如果丢失当前控制文件，用冷备份的控制文件恢复的时候，用来告诉oracle，不要以controlfile中的scn作为恢复的终点；
2. recover database until cancel

如果丢失current/active redo的时候，手动指定终点。
3. recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;

如果丢失当前controlfile并且current/active redo都丢失，会先去自动应用归档日志,可以实现最大的恢复；
4. recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;

如果丢失当前controlfile并且current/active redo都丢失，以旧的redo中的scn为恢复终点。因为没有应用归档日志，所有会丢失数据。
要理解recover database using backup controlfile，先理解 recover database，也就是说，不加using backup controlfile的情况。
在普通的recover database 或者 recover tablespace, recover datafile时， Oracle会以当前controlfile所纪录的SCN为准，利用archive log和 redo log的redo entry, 把相关的datafile 的 block恢复到“当前controlfile所纪录的SCN”
而某些情况下，Oracle需要把数据恢复到比当前controlfile所纪录的SCN还要靠后的位置（比如说，control file是backup controlfile , 或者 controlfile是根据trace create的。）,这时候，就需要用using backup controlfile.   恢复就不会受“当前controlfile所记录的SCN”的限制。这时候的限制就来自于你的语句(until time , until scn)，或者可用的archive log(until cancel) ...
