Biography
In 1993, Mr. Still and some coworkers were sequestered away for several months to redesign and rewrite their company's application. It was to use Oracle, and it needed to be fast. Thus, began his introduction to Oracle, and he's been working with it ever since, mostly as a DBA.
Jared's Oracle speaking experience consists of presentations at Hotsos, DBF (Denmark), and RMOUG. Additionally, he has written a few articles on Oracle topics. Mr. Still was also responsible for instigating a somewhat popular online forum for Oracle database topics, called Oracle-L.
Presentation Title
Making RMAN Perform
Abstract
RMAN is a well-established backup tool. As it has become increasingly robust, it has also become increasingly complex.
When RMAN doesn't seem to be performing as well as you think it should, where do you begin to tune it? While there is some RMAN tuning information available to guide you, it is somewhat sparse.
This presentation is not going to offer any quick tips or silver bullets, because there aren't any.
This presentation is about learning how to determine what makes RMAN perform well in a particular environment, and what makes it perform poorly.
You will see what parameters performed well in my test system, but there are no guarantees that you would see the same results in your systems by applying the same values to these parameters.
Topics for this presentation include:
- Increasing backup performance
- Increasing restore performance
- Compromises between backup and restore performance
- Compromising backup performance to maintain response time
