- 25. Key Features of EECS 2.0.4
Navstar
• High Density Deployment with CPU over-subscription
• Application High Availability – auto restart of user vServers
• Support for X3-2 hardware
• Solaris 11.1
• X3-2 upgrade kits for bare-metal and virtual deployment
– Used to upgrade X3-2 and X2-2 racks from one size to next size larger
• Results in a mixed X2/X3 compute node configuration
• EM Cloud Control 12c PS1 Support
– Single pane of glass for Exalogic & vServer management
25 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
- 26. Exalogic vCPU Over-subscription
• Exalogic vCPU over-subscription
– provides the ability to carve out more vCPU's than available physical CPU
resources
– provides denser consolidations and hence better utilization of hardware
• Key Components:
2
– Exalogic Control interface to change vCPU over-subscription settings. On a
Exalogic X2-2, a fully-subscribed node supports 24 vCPUs. A vCPU over-subscription
26 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
setting of 2:1 for example supports 48 vCPUs/node for all nodes in
the vDC
50
– Exalogic Control interface to set cap on # of physical CPU cycles each
vCPU can consume. This is a way to provide deterministic performance for
vServers on Exalogic across the vDC. For example CPU cap set at 50% means
each vCPU can at the max utilize only 50% of a hardware thread at any point in
time.
- 27. Exalogic vCPU Over-subscription
• By default, vCPU over-subscription is disabled across the vDC
• vCPU over-subscription can be setup at vDC initialization time or
can be set/updated on a running vDC
• The vCPU over-subscription setting and the CPU Cap settings are
set for an entire vDC and cannot vary between VMs
• Scenarios:

- 31. Echo – Mixed Rack
• Mixed virtual and physical on same Exalogic rack
– Flexibility to have physical and virtual environments on same
rack. For example, production on physical and test/dev on
virtual
– Exalogic Control manages the virtual compute nodes on the
rack. Physical compute nodes managed via CLI
– Option to change full physical to hybrid and hybrid to full
virtual rack
– User has an option to choose either the top or bottom nodes
for physical or virtual deployment

- 32. Echo – Minimize Control VM footprint
• Minimize Control VM footprint
– Exalogic Control VMs consolidated into 3
virtual machines (previously 5)
• VM1 will run OVMM, DB, EC and OVAB
Deployer apps
• VM2 will run PC1
• VM3 will run PC2
– Control VM’s spread across 2 compute
nodes (VM1 and VM2 on node 1, VM3 on
node 2)

- 33. Echo – Base Image and Base Template Enhancements
– Oracle Linux Server 5.8 as part of EBI and base template
– OS watcher added by default to the base template
• OS Watcher (OSW) is a collection of UNIX shell scripts intended to collect and archive
operating system and network metrics to aid support in diagnosing performance issues
• OS Watcher installed, configured and running by default on OVS nodes, guest VMs,
control VMs.
– Exalogic Guest Base Template support for LVM to partition local disks
• LVM is a Logical Volume Manager for the Linux operating system
• LVM provides a higher-level view of the disk storage on a computer system than the
traditional view of disks and partitions
– Exalogic Guest Base Template based on Linux server installation
• Minimal install of necessary RPMs only
– imageinfo and imagehistory part of the base template
• Helps in patching and upgrade
33 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
Oracle Linux Server release 5.8
Kernel 2.6.32-400.26.3.el5uek on an x86_64
- 34. Echo – Performance Improvements
• IMB Improvements:
– Support for IMB 1.1. IMB 1.1 has better performance and
fixes multiple bugs found in the older IMB 1.0 version.
• OVM 3.2.1 support:
– Better performance and concurrency handling
– Major improvements in stability of the platform
34 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
- 35. Echo – Enhanced ECU
Exalogic Configuration Utility (ECU)
• Better Install Experience and better documentation
• ECU with more automation and usability enhancements
– Provides the ability to run a range of steps or a particular step
– Each run of the step is recorded
– Prevents users from skipping steps during execution of ECU
– Provides an option not to be recorded (run_step_archaic) and
once this option is used the rest of the steps need to run
unrecorded
35 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
- 36. ECU Spreadsheet for Full Virtual or Hybrid
Same Exalogic Configuration Process
• Same ECU process for
Full Virtual or Mixed
(Hybrid) rack installation
• The only difference is in
the spreadsheet
selection
– Mixed Rack = [No]
– Mixed Rack = Virtualized
• Top compute nodes OR
• Bottom compute nodes
• the rest are physical

- 38. Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder (OVAB)
• Accelerates and simplifies provisioning of complete multi-tier application
topologies
• Is capable of capturing application topologies comprised of Oracle and
non-Oracle products
• Applications can be fully deployed quickly and efficiently using application
and user defined metadata
• Drive single-step, template-based deployment of multi-tier applications to
virtualized environments
• Capture the configuration of each software component from an existing
application environment and package them into a collection of customized
software appliances
