CD FY09 Tactical Plan Review 3 FY09 Tactical Plan: Strategies and Goals Tactical Plan Strategies –Develop stronger expertise and support for open source databases, reducing the dependency on Oracle, with a goal of reducing development and support costs. Tactical Plan Goals –Continue to provide a stable, professional operation of laboratory scientific and information systems databases, providing maximum uptime and technical support.

CD FY09 Tactical Plan Review 4 FY09 Tactical Plan: Objectives Tactical Plan Objectives 1. Database & Systems Operations Support running experiments at appropriate levels. 2. Database Support. Promote Postgres and Oracle as a 1st tier database and MS-SQL and MySQL as second-tier databases. Support production, integration and development on all database platforms. Configure, tune, test, and maintain databases. 3. Agile response to new and rapid shifts of responsibilities and demands accompanying the end of Run II data taking and reduction of effort in the Run II experiments.

CD FY09 Tactical Plan Review 5 FY09 Tactical Plan: Objectives 4. Kerberize Oracle using Advanced Security Option. 5. Maintain expertise for new features. Work with databases on vm environments, oracle rac testing, etc. 6. Implement Oracle Internet Directory (OID). 7. Complete upgrade to Oracle 10 for the information systems databases. 8. Upgrade information systems hardware for databases, including major apps, computer security, 24.7 applications and nimi development. 9. Continued Deployment of the 3par San technology. 10. Ramp SDSS support down to maintenance levels.

CD FY09 Tactical Plan Review 6 FY09 Tactical Plan: Past Action Items Resolution of Past Action Items: SDSS Planning hardware/software layouts for the next DR7 and final DR8 releases. Obtaining new machines and licenses promptly. Reconfigured number of existing machines to meet our hardware requirements for the future maintenance of the SDSS machines to keep less machines in the rack. Implemented 2 mirror sites for DR5 Data Release in the Libraries of JHU and University of Chicago. SDSS team working close with team of the librarians to setup SDSS help desk support using new web application Question Point. SDSS DBA team successfully completed transition CasJobs web service from SQL2K to SQL2K5. Completed incremental loading from DR6 to DR7.1 (BestDR7.1, TargDR7.1, SegueDR7.1 - total more than 6TB data) and released it to the SDSS collaboration on February 14 - two weeks early. Working close with team of developers from JHU and Princeton to implement and test new code related to schema modifications for DR7.2 with major changes in data model and merging SegueDR7.1 to BestDR7.2. Completed loading 3TB data into new database Stripe82, this is a new addition to the SDSS databases in respond to the SDSS scientists to merge stripe 82 runs into one database. Successfully upgraded 7TB RunsDB database from SQLServer2000 to SqlServer 2005 environment. Working constantly on SDSS documentation and improving monitoring tools to maintain stable production environment.

CD FY09 Tactical Plan Review 7 FY09 Tactical Plan: Past Action Items Resolution of Past Action Items Open Source: To be clear, points below include effort from sysadmins as well as dbas! Established best practices, standards, how tos for open source implementations. Cross training as much as possible. Established postgres general purpose boxes for dev/int/prd. Installed several users including content_mgmt, ilc ground motion and edu office lasso project dbs. Took mgmt of mysql general purpose boxes. they need work to upgrade and bring to stds, work is pending. Migrating support of gratia db to dba. Benchmarked MyISAM vs InnoDB engines for Gratia. Evaluated several backup products for mysql operating under InnoDB engine. Established nova dev/int/prd postgres boxes. Took over support of NIMI. Modifying to standardized installs, upgrade os and db. Continuing cross training of group. Attempted to set up an onsite postgres class for developers and dbas, but furloughs disrupted attendance planning. Assisted minerva with mysql and postgres installs on general purpose boxes. Established the Content Mgmt postgres database dev/int/prd. Still not quite transitioned minos production mysql db to dba.
