Data Guard Creation Best Practices • Fastest and easiest Data Guard deployment for your environment • New master MOS note that directs you to the best way to deploy a Data Guard standby • My Oracle Support Note 2275154. 1 – If you are 11. 2 use the standard RMAN DUPLICATE method – If you are 12. 1. 0. 2 or higher then use RMAN restore from service method – If you 12. 2. 0. 1 or higher and single instance use DBCA method (RAC in 18 c) Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 9

Data Guard Transport Best Practices • Learn to push ASYNC performance to provide near zero data loss • How to accurately determine transport lag • Diagnosing and tuning ASYNC transport – Network performance – Identify bottlenecks • Diagnosing reasons for ASYNC transport lag – Using AWR to assess peak redo rate can be misleading due to averages bring down the rate over longer period of time – Examine the time spent in each log to determine the peak redo rate on a finer level Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 10

Data Guard Transport Best Practices • Achieve zero data loss with minimal performance impact • Deep dive on SYNC performance tuning – Test results that illustrate performance gains when using best practices – For example, proper online log file sizes with a large banking customer improved performance by 30% – Frequent log switches force a checkpoint on the standby which results in increased I/O thereby affecting performance – Single member standby redo log placed on fast storage Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 11

Data Guard Transport Best Practices TIP • Benefit: Achieve zero data loss with minimal performance impact • The vast majority of Data Guard • Deep dive on SYNC performance tuning Transport performance issues can be – Test results that illustrate performance gains when using best practices attributed to frequent log switches – For example, proper online log file sizes with a large banking customer improved performance by 30% • Log switches should occur – Frequent log switches force a checkpoint on the standby which results in increased approximately every 15 minutes I/O thereby affecting performance – Single member standby redo log placed on fast storage Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 12

Data Guard Redo Apply Best Practices • Updated MAA Whitepaper • How to tune with examples for various scenarios – Tuning using top five wait events – Test results that illustrate performance gains when using best practices • New installation and usage instructions for using AWR with standby • New update that includes multi instance redo apply Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
