Replication Technologies Lorena Lobato Pardavila

Replication Technologies Evolution 2012 CERN part of Oracle Database beta program Q1-Q As part of beta program, several tests were done to compare Streams and Oracle GoldenGate advantages Q3-Q Oracle GoldenGate 12c released (12.1.2) OGG better than Streams: Migration to Streams to Oracle GoldenGate decision taken Testing monitoring(OGG Monitor, OGG Director OGG EM plugin) and Veridata to measure data consistency 2014 Streams to Oracle GoldenGate migration planning Testing migration procedure from Streams to Oracle GoldenGate Oracle GoldenGate Production Databases running at CERN 5 15/10/2014 CERN openlab Major Review October 2014

Recent Activities › Replication Technology Evolution for ATLAS Data Workshop  Replication technologies and requirements review. Replications roadmap established for ATLAS.  GoldenGate administration, monitoring and troubleshooting. Data consistency verification with Veridata › Testing Veridata 12c (12.1.3) at WLCG › Keep evaluating GoldenGate 12c and the new features › Finally.. Streams to Golden Gate migration completed!  Done July – September 2014  Improved scalability – performance better than Streams  ATLAS ONLINE – OFFLINE (condDB)  ATLAS OFFLINE – TIER1s ̵ RAL ̵ IN2P3 ̵ TRIUMF  LHCb ONLINE-OFFLINE 6 CERN openlab Major Review October /10/2014

Measure data consistency: Veridata › After migration, verify data consistency measured by Oracle GG Veridata  Veridata is a potential and solid data comparison solution  More than 120 schemas inspected between CERN and Tier1s  TB of data checked  +34,888 of tables were processed 8 CERN openlab Major Review October /10/2014

Next steps › Evaluation of zero-downtime database upgrades/migrations using Oracle GoldenGate › Evaluating the use of OGG as an ETL solution for data warehousing and DaaS. › Oracle GoldenGate monitoring › Evaluating of new release of OGG 12c ( ) › Oracle GoldenGate at WLCG  Feedback to Oracle GoldenGate development from running our production setups with the new technology.  Support and maintenance of OGG 9 CERN openlab Major Review October /10/2014

Virtualization Ignacio Coterillo Coz

Oracle VM as OpenStack Hypervisor 2014 February Custom Hypervisor: manually compiled XEN and libvirt 2014 March Oracle VM beta release solved the situation of having to work with custom hypervisors 2014 May Oracle OpenStack tech preview release solved having to recompile libvirt to enable XEN support Updates on both Oracle VM and OpenStack eventually solved the problems with the networking components 1615/10/2014 CERN openlab Major Review October 2014

Oracle VM as OpenStack Hypervisor › Current procedure 1.Install Oracle VM hypervisor from iso 2.Install libvirt from Oracle OpenStack Repository 3.Add hypervisor host as a nova compute node on your OpenStack RDO installation 4.Configure Nova to use the XEN driver 15/10/ CERN openlab Major Review October 2014

CERN AI Monitoring integration › As mentioned before, one of the biggest issues to the Oracle VM 3 was the impossibility to install 3rd party tools on the hypervisors  This made impossible to use CERN monitoring tools with Oracle VM3 hypervisors › With the release of Oracle VM beta, this changed:  Possible to install both Lemon and Apache Flume agents for collecting metrics and log 19 CERN openlab Major Review October /10/2014

CERN AI Monitoring integration 20 CERN openlab Major Review October /10/2014
