Managing an Oracle environment on Linux on System z
In this part, we provide information about the following topics to help you manage your environment:
•Using z/VM new feature of Live Guest Relocation (LGR) to move an Oracle Linux guest from one LPAR to another.
|
Important: This feature is not certified by Oracle at the time of this writing. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Using z/VM Live Guest Relocation to relocate a Linux guest” on page 117.
|
•Considerations for tuning your environment to improve performance of your Oracle database. It covers z/VM, Linux, and Oracle tuning possibilities, as described in Chapter 7, “Tuning z/VM, Linux, and Oracle to run on IBM System z” on page 137.
•Options that were used to migrate Oracle Database instances to an Linux on System z platform, as described in Chapter 8, “Cross-platform migration overview” on page 155.
•Options that can be used to provide High Availability and Disaster Recovery solutions when Oracle Database is run on Linux on System z. These options include Oracle components and IBM components to provide a highly available environment, as described in Chapter 9, “High Availability and Disaster Recovery environment for Oracle” on page 179.
