Various thoughts on Oracle, Enterprise Architecture, Cloud Computing, Kubernetes and everything Storage
In this post I am going to show how we can take volume and volume group snapshots with Portworx. I have previous blogged on how you can run an Oracle 19c on Kubernetes with Portworx and will use the PVCs created that blog within this post. Inspect existing Statefulset Before we start let's looks out... Continue Reading →

Backgroud If you are a frequent visitor to my Blog site you may have already read one of the many Oracle on Docker / Kubernetes posts which I have written over the last few years. I have posts showing how you can deploy different versions of the Oracle database on Docker and Kubernetes clusters, with... Continue Reading →
One of the Purity 6.0 features I have most eagerly been awaiting is the ability to tag Pure volumes and snapshots. Volume tagging provides a great way of providing additional database and application metadata to FlashArray Volumes to provide application and database aware reporting. In this Blog post I am going to demonstrate how we... Continue Reading →
Background In my previous ORION Blog post I described how to prepare a Pure Storage FlashArray block volumes for use with Oracle ORION (ORacle IO Numbers), in this is Blog I am going to show how this can also be done with NFS. Getting Started - Storage Preparation For the purposes of this Blog I have... Continue Reading →
Background When a DBA gets the request to perform a storage IO test most will probably look to use the extremely poplar, and excellent SLOB (Silly Little Oracle Benchmark) by Kevin Closson, or maybe HammerDB or Dominic Giles'sSwingBench for Transactional / TPC-DS type tests. However, if you find yourself under time or other constraints ORION... Continue Reading →
