  • How will I know when to run the oracle table statistics?

    I have a situation Here.Several weeks back, one of my application developer complained about the performance issue in one of the application. I looked at the table statistics, statistics on the table were outdated and ran the table statistics, query ran a lot faster. The same problem occurred in another application, and hoping that oracle will take the right decisions based on the statistics, I ran the statistics for the tables involved in the query, but this time things got worse? Why is this? According to oracle documentation the optimizer must have updated statistics on the tables and indexes that surround these tables, so how do we decide when to run the statistics on the tables by making sure that we have no worse things. Thank you

    You don't tell us your version of db, but if you're on 10g and above, Oracle marks as out-of-date statistics when the RASSI percentage reaches or crosses the 10%. 11.1 from automatic work, managed by the ABP process runs nightly 10om at 02:00 on weekdays (can't recall for weekends) and supports the same. The question, when to collect the statistics is actually very subjective in your environment. Most of the time, it would be a weekly or a night and work in a data warehouse, in the next window ETL. You would need to play with the amount of the percentage of blocks of the table before you would be able to come to percentage that can work for your plans in a good way. I also saw the return of cardinality plays a large role in the exercise sometimes. You can watch here as well.

  • How will I know ESXi installed on the local hard drive or usb or SAN?

    Hi all

    Here, I have IBM Storage node flex and midsize, this storewize is divided in two. I want to know where my esxi os installed? all orders to find?

    Hello

    So you can run esxcfg-info-e and you will get your startup BACK type, it will be either visor-thin (means ESXi installable, means in general you are installed on the local disk or SAN), visor-usb (ESXi embedded, usually means you are installed on USB or SD or visor-pxe to PXE deployment.)

    If you want to go further, you can run ls-lisa/dev/discs and you should be able to identify your device initialization as one with a load of partitions, as the vm1.0000xxxx entries in the result below:

    If in case of doubt, you can use partedUtil to check, enter the ID and plug into partedUtil, as follows: partedUtil getptbl /dev/disks/vml.0000000000766d68626133323a303a30

    If it is your boot device, you should see your systemPartition and all your Partitions ESXi...

    To further clarify, go back to your ls-lisa/dev/discs out and now you know that you have the right device, enter the path to your drive ID, in this case, mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0, then run esxcli nmp storage devices list | grep mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0

    and you will get your device nickname, so:


    ~ # esxcli list of nmp storage device | grep mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0

    MPX.vmhba32:C0:t0:l0

    Device display name: USB Direct - access Local (mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0)

    Hope this helps, this should be good for ESXi 5.x and above all, I believe, something you might need to sub partedUtil for fdisk.

    Good luck!
