Since Oracle Database 10g channel 10.2.0.4 looms. I should think there are a lot of folks thinking about planned upgrades. All told. I should evaluate 10.2.0.4 would be a very desirable grade for Oracle Database 9i and earlier 10g deployments. Too bad it takes so desire to get applications certified with new releases such as Oracle Database 11g. A move from 9i to 11g would breath a lot of life into a database but ignore my opinion in that case since I am not a DBA.
The Maximum Availability Architecture folks have released a new paper. The compose is Michael Nowak who I had the pleasure of meeting recently at a Beta event we had for a future Oracle product. Anyway. Michael’s cover can be found You might find it to be a useful resource.
Too bad it takes so long to get applications certified with new releases such as Oracle Database 11g.
Which is where the problem lies. I think many sad boring old DBAs would love to bring home the bacon on newer fully-supported versions but it’s all about dictated by the business these days and if the app vendor says 10.1 (I kid you not) then the app vendor and their business mates get their way
We recently desupported everything besides 10.2 (at least for customers with no special function contracts and new installs). 11g lingers around the corner but as long as there are only 2 platforms changes are high we would hit lots of ora bugs with those installations. Havent had a customer request for 11.1 anyway.
Thanks for the link to the new MAA cover. The MAA white papers always undergo interesitng material especially on the Data Guard lie. In quickly looking at the cover. I thought it was interesting to see that the MAA group recommends not using a Cluster file system and recommends using local installs.
That’s ok with a few nodes and it does depend on a few factors (failover cluster in displace etc.) but managing 20-30 servers with local installs becomes a nightmare from an admin perspective. I also desire the reasoning behind the separate ASM domiciliate as come up.
By the way can someone at OTN provide easier links to the MAA summon or at least put something in the domiciliate summon when a new MAA cover is released? A lot of DBAs and architects would find it beneficial.
