Objectives

After completing this lesson, you should be able to:


• Explain the principles and purposes of clusters
• Describe the Oracle Clusterware architecture

1-2 Copyright © 2019, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
What Is a Cluster?

• A group of independent, but interconnected, computers


that act as a single system
• Usually deployed to
increase availability and Network
performance or Interconnect
Users
to balance a dynamically
changing workload

Storage Network

What Is Clusterware?

• Clusterware is software that provides various interfaces


and services for a cluster.
• Typically, this includes capabilities that:
– Allow the cluster to be managed as a whole
– Protect the integrity of the cluster
– Maintain a registry of resources across the cluster
– Deal with changes to the cluster
– Provide a common view of resources

Oracle Clusterware
Oracle Clusterware is:
• A key part of Oracle Grid Infrastructure
• Integrated with Oracle
Automatic Storage
Management (ASM)
• The basis for Oracle Cloud
File System
• A foundation for Oracle
Real Application Clusters
(RAC)
• A generalized cluster
infrastructure for all kinds
of applications

Clusterware Architecture and Cluster Services

• Shared disk cluster architecture supporting application


load balancing and failover
• Services include:
– Cluster management
– Node monitoring
– Event services
– Time synchronization
– Network management
– High availability
– Cluster Interconnect Link
Aggregation (HAIP)

Goals for Oracle Clusterware

• Easy installation
• Easy management
• Continuing tight integration with Oracle RAC
• ASM enhancements with
benefits for all applications
• No additional clusterware
required

Oracle Clusterware Networking
• Each node must have at least two network adapters.
• Each public network adapter must support TCP/IP.
• The interconnect adapter must support:
– User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Reliable Data Socket (RDS)
for UNIX and Linux for database communication
– TCP for Windows platforms for database communication
• All platforms use Grid Interprocess Communication (GIPc).

Flex Cluster Scalability

The Flex Cluster hub-and-spoke topology segments the cluster


into more manageable groups of nodes.
• Only the Hub Nodes require direct access to
the OCR and voting disks.
• Fewer interactions are required between nodes.

ASM CloudFS and ACFS
Oracle CloudFS is designed to help organizations deploy their
applications, databases, and storage in private clouds.

• ASM manages Oracle


database files.
Oracle RAC Application Application
• ACFS manages other
files.
• Spreads data across 3rd Party

ASM Features and Benefits

• Stripes files rather than logical volumes


• Provides redundancy on a file basis
• Enables online disk reconfiguration and dynamic
rebalancing
• Reduces the time significantly to resynchronize a transient
failure by tracking changes while the disk is offline
• Provides adjustable rebalancing speed
• Is cluster-aware
• Supports reading from mirrored copy instead of primary
copy for extended clusters
• Is automatically installed as part of the Grid Infrastructure

or RDS.
a. True
b. False
