RE: Long Checkpoints with HDR and 11.5.

Posted By: Madison Pruet

In Response To: RE: Long Checkpoints with HDR and 11.5. (Knox, Ernest)

ok - a couple of things.

1) You need to have the same number (or even more) cpuvps on the
secondary.
2) The number of OFF_RECVRY_THREADS should be a near prime number and =
at
least 3 times the number of CPUVPS.

You're already going to make it more difficult for the secondary to kee=
p up
with the primary because it doesn't have the same horsepower. You migh=
t be
able to overcome that a bit by increasing the offline recovery threads.=

Making them a near prime number will tend to balance the usage a bit. =
A
near prime number would be one which is not evenly divisible by
2,5,7,11,13. So 10 is not a good one. Maybe something more like 23 wo=
uld
be better. Remember - the offline recovery threads have to balance the=

updating activity of the primary and the offline recovery threads need =
to
have a balanced load.

We have done some recent work arround checkpoint performance with HDR. =
We
now have the ability to stage the logs in a temporary space which the
checkpoint is underway. We then subsequently will apply those staged l=
ogs.

Another couple of comments.

It is best to not use indexes which are contained within the tablespace=

that the data pages are contained in (i.e. online-5 style indexes).

M.P. this is what we have:

Answers:

1) physical cpus on both are 8

2) The number of cpuvps on primary is set to 6, on secondary it is set
to 4

3) OFF_RECVRY_THREADS is set to 10

4) Secondary is currently down. cannot give onstat -g cpu info at the
time.

It sounds like there might be an imbalance between the primary and the
secondary. A couple of questions...

1) How many physical CPUs on the primary/secondary?
2) How many CPUVPS on the primary/secondary?
3) What is OFF_RECVRY_THREADS set to?
4) What is the output of onstat -g cpu on the secondary?

M.P.

We are receiving extreme slowness and long checkpoints on our 11.50.FC3=

and now 11.50.FC5 versions on AIX 6.1, while running HDR.

Everything comes back to life when we cut HDR, but began again once we

Has anyone else had this issue and what was the resolution?
