Postgres vFabric requirements

Hi all

My company is looking at the migration of Oracle and Postgres, now I know it there vFabric Postgres but looking at the pre-reqs should you run vCloud Director, Center of automation or can be installed without?

Also what is the level of support you get from VMware for the Postgres DB?

Thank you

Mark

> Should you run vCloud Director Center of automation or can be installed without?

VMware vFabric Postgres can be installed as a stand-alone virtual appliance available as a simple OVA. So RPM packages are available so you can get your own facility as well, so the installation can be very flexible.

> Also, what is the level of support you get from VMware for the Postgres DB?

Not sure what you mean by 'what level', but support is available for the server itself and the virtual appliance with the things it contains (stuff of automatic backup/recovery, UI, installation, settings, etc. etc.).

  • readers fill on vFabric 9.2.4 virtual appliance

    We have 2 vFabric Postgres 9.2.4 virtual appliances running like a bunch of slave master to provide a database of space Horizon.

    The size of database of horizon is reported to 34 MB on the master server filled readers (taking the database offline) at the following locations:

    / dev/sdb 7.8 GB (/var/vmware/vpostgres/9.2/pgdata/archive is full file 16 MB)

    What is causing the 2 drives fills up so quickly? And how we can solve.

    Just a bit of background here...

    In your case, if you have a 7.8 GB of files in pg_xlog, this means that there is something like 480 WAL files saved in it. There may be more of (3 * checkpoint_segments + 1) files in pg_xlog (or 901 knowing that checkpoint_segments has a maximum of 300). Note that this is a soft limit and can be exceeded, but the WAL files will be deleted when this soft threshold is reached. Below this limit, when the WAL files are not needed, they are recycled by the system be renamed.

    VMware vFabric Postgres 9.2 differs also, a little Vanilla because it uses an algorithm called dynamic control point which allows to delay or speed up the time of a control point is kicked according to the workload of the server is facing, this is slightly different from vanilla Postgres... In this case the control point is controlled with checkpoint_segments_max and there may be more of (checkpoint_segments_max * 3) + 1 WAL files.

    More reference on the number of WAL files to vanilla 9.2 here:

    PostgreSQL: Documentation: 9.2: Configuration WAL

    So, to answer your questions:

    > So is there no way to manually clean up the files on the data disk?

    You should not remove files your server WAL because this would result in a corrupt system, you might need those WAL files in the case of a server crash for redo operations. So rely on the system for their elimination.

    You could accelerate that by kicking CHECKPOINT manually, just be aware that this operation is very expensive in terms of input/output. You can thus reduce checkpoint_segments_max manually in postgresql.conf, which by default is 300.

    > Are they just continue to grow like this for always?

    No unnecessary WAL files are recycled or eliminated by the system.

    > Why are there so many files for such a small base?

    These files are required to roll FORWARD operations. As far as I can see on your screen, all WAL files have the same timestamp, so don't you have an operation that could generate a lot of WAL, as for example that would make a huge bulk loading of the INSERT? That would explain why you have generated a lot of files without a checkpoint being hit by checkpoint_timeout.

  • Insertion in Postgres via ODBC gateway

    Hi, I did a few tests, here are the questions and results:

    Postgres:
    CREATE TABLE t_dump
    (
      str character varying(100)
    )
    Oracle: [ORADB: db link to Postgrers]
    INSERT INTO "t_dump"@ORADB VALUES ('test'); 
    Works very well, both from PL/SQL SQL

    However:
    Declare
    m_str Varchar2 (10) := 'test';
    Begin
    INSERT INTO "t_dump"@ORADB VALUES (m_str);  
    End;
    Gives me an error:
    Error report:
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-02067: transaction or savepoint rollback required
    ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DB)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=pg)))

               (a statement applying to internal dictionary tables).
    *Action:   If the situation described in the next error on the stack

    Dynamic SQL gives the exact same error:

    Begin
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
    'INSERT INTO "t_dump"@ORADB VALUES (:v0)'
      Using m_str;
    End;
    Is it possible that I could use variables in queries?

    An issiue more:
    I created a table partitioned in Postgres and simple INSERT statement works well [SQL Oracle's]; However - the same statement, accompanied by start/end [PL/SQL] needs about 60 seconds to complete. Is this a normal behavior? Y at - it a config/pragma... I use to speed it up?

    Concerning
    Bart Dabr

    is the full path or you cut a few lines at the end?

    When you look at the link I see a column is bound without precision (LONGVARCHAR-1 Y 0 0 0 / 0 0 0 220 stringvalue)-this also happens when using the insert without a variable binding?

  • Heterogeneous connection between Oracle and Postgres.

    Hi all

    I am trying to connect heterogeneous Postgres and Oracle for a few days, but I've always seen this error: "loss of the RPC connection.

    First of all: I use Windows 7, Oracle 10 g and PostgreSQL 8.4.

    I did the following:

    (1) create a system DNS named "PG". (The connection test is OK)

    (2) to create the file 'initPG.ora' in ' $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin:
    # This is an example of initialization file of the agent that contains the HS settings
    # needed for an ODBC Agent.

    #
    # HS init parameters
    #
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = PG
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = WE

    #
    # Required for the non-Oracle system environment variables
    #
    #set < varenv > = < value >

    (3) configure the file 'listener.ora' (in ' $ORACLE_HOME/NETWORK/ADMIN "):
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)

    (PROGRAM = hsodbc)
    )
    )

    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = CIP)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = Cédric-PC)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    )

    DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)

    (4) set up the 'tnsnames.ora' file (in ' $ORACLE_HOME/NETWORK/ADMIN "):
    XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = Cédric-PC)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = XE)

    )

    (5) Finally, I create my DB-Link and test it:
    CREATE DATABASE LINK 'CENTRALE_POSTGRES' CONNECT TO 'user_login' IDENTIFIED BY 'user_password' USING "PG";

    SELECT * FROM 'dual"@CENTRALE_POSTGRES;

    I got this error:

    As you can see, I have activated the trace level (HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = WE), but the still empty directory ' $ORACLE_HOME/NETWORK/trace.

    Any ideas?

    Concerning

    the alias PG tnsnames.ora is wrong — you must have 2 closing brackets after the so that HS SERVICE_NAME = OK is outside the CONNECT_DATA as:

    PG =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp) (HOST = Cédric-PC)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = PG))

  • Assistance required after you download Sierra - locked in a spiral of failure of the Installation

    Hello - I am a student of the University who made the mistake of thinking I had to upgrade my OS system after seeing some updates new flashy in the Sierra. Long story short, that my computer is locked into a cycle where I restarts and the installation process will begin installation but end abruptly and ask me to reboot again.

    I have exams and papers due and seriously want access to my data again. I don't have a back up of my files. As such, I am looking for a method that will allow me access to my files that I need to be able to read notes, print etc.

    Details: I have an old MBPro by the end of 2011. He was on as the primary OS x Lion. I had updated some time later. More recently, I got El Capitan and it worked very well. I downloaded Sierra in the background as I did work at home and after installing it, it asked me to reboot. This was the point that I was able to come back from. Reboot after installation scenario is as follows:

    -A progress bar comes up saying 34 minutes until completion

    -The progress bar goes to 33 minutes until completion

    -Beginning of fans of my computer acting upward and the bar stops and crashes of progression

    -The installation process says he doesn't have and asks me to restart my computer

    Specifically, I get the message 'Mac OS could not be installed on your computer. File system check or repair a failure. Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again. »

    When I quit the installer of the OS, I am taken to the startup disk option and asked to choose a system to reboot my computer with. I see 'Macintosh HD macOS 10.11.4' but when I click on it and try to restart I get the following error message, "you cannot change the disk on the disk selected. Startup disk could not gather enough information on the selected disk. »

    Things I've tried:

    Internet recovery mode: I went here to do a restore of the Mac OS x comes with my computer (Lion). This attempt fails and the computer tells me I can't downgrade because a more recent OSX is already on my computer...

    Recovery mode: I tried to come back just El Capitan from here. When I try to do the process will take literally one second before I get a notification saying: "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try to rerun this application".

    Disk utility: I tried to do first aid and repair on this menu on the big disk image (since some of them pop up... I'm sure that the big one is my computer and the small setup of Sierra is?). I see that I 115Gigs franco 319Gigs departure. When I click on check and repair, the process takes some time and seems as he goes to halfway through before I get errors in the two. Repair error wonder backup my data.

    -some specific stuff; the journal for the repair of first aid says something like: the Macintosh HD volume could not be completely checked. File system check exit code is 8. Update support partition for the volume as required. File system check or repair a failure. Operation failed... »

    Safe mode: I can't start in safe mode. My computer will load the apple logo, progress on 3/4ths of the way start-up and then crash on its own and not restart.

    Things I have tried:

    Constituting a new boot USB of OS Sierra - I read that in so doing I can substitute the installation process that is going on right now on my computer and start a new... I hope one that works. I was not able to do this again, because I need someone to another macbook to make it and none of my friends won't let me touch their computers after the fiasco that happened on mine... Can I get some feedback on this?

    Backup: I don't have an external hard drive... I'm willing to buy one if necessary, but I don't know how to make a backup in a world where I don't have access to the major functional sections of my computer. Also, if my computer is * session here now, I'm worried that a backup will be essentially a * a backup... is this the work of the computer?

    Other thoughts:

    -my computer was working fine before I tried the upgrade... no complaints on my end, it was a real trooper

    -Maybe the download was corrupted?

    -I learned today that the operating system installation process requires internet connection - maybe that my internet connection is bad?

    -on that note, I want to say I tried a lot of different things. Been in different parts of the campus (different parts of my dorm building, IT support across campus, etc.). My University has also 3 options of WIFI, but each requires a separate verification process. Throughout this process, I have been connected to one of these methods. Switching may help? But, if I can't do the verification step (i.e. open a browser and type in the details of my student specific to actually use the web), I do not think that this will help you a lot. In addition, I am sure that I am already using one of the less frequently used options.

    I want to avoid a permanent possible deletion because there are important things on my computer.

    Any advice? Enjoy it!

    Same problem here on my Mac Mini end of 2012. I couldn't find any fix so far. The machine worked perfectly fine before with El Capitan and had about 50 GB of available disk space. I have use any version beta of Sierra, but officially released one that came yesterday. Really disappointing to see the new system operating software with fundamental questions and no good way to solve it.
