Key Features of EECS 2.0.4
• High Density Deployment with CPU over-subscription
• Application High Availability – auto restart of user vServers
• Support for X3-2 hardware
• Solaris 11.1
• X3-2 upgrade kits for bare-metal and virtual deployment– Used to upgrade X3-2 and X2-2 racks from one size to next size larger
• Results in a mixed X2/X3 compute node configuration
• EM Cloud Control 12c PS1 Support– Single pane of glass for Exalogic & vServer management

Exalogic vCPU Over-subscription
• Exalogic vCPU over-subscription – provides the ability to carve out more vCPU's than available physical CPU
resources
– provides denser consolidations and hence better utilization of hardware
• Key Components:– Exalogic Control interface to change vCPU over-subscription settings. On a
Exalogic X2-2, a fully-subscribed node supports 24 vCPUs. A vCPU over-subscription setting of 2:1 for example supports 48 vCPUs/node for all nodes in the vDC
– Exalogic Control interface to set cap on # of physical CPU cycles each vCPU can consume. This is a way to provide deterministic performance for vServers on Exalogic across the vDC. For example CPU cap set at 50% means each vCPU can at the max utilize only 50% of a hardware thread at any point in time.

27 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
Exalogic vCPU Over-subscription
• By default, vCPU over-subscription is disabled across the vDC
• vCPU over-subscription can be setup at vDC initialization time or can be set/updated on a running vDC
• The vCPU over-subscription setting and the CPU Cap settings are set for an entire vDC and cannot vary between VMs

Detail of Echo FeaturesPart I
31 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
Echo – Mixed Rack
• Mixed virtual and physical on same Exalogic rack– Flexibility to have physical and virtual environments on same
rack. For example, production on physical and test/dev on virtual
– Exalogic Control manages the virtual compute nodes on the rack. Physical compute nodes managed via CLI
– Option to change full physical to hybrid and hybrid to full virtual rack
– User has an option to choose either the top or bottom nodes for physical or virtual deployment

Echo – Minimize Control VM footprint
• Minimize Control VM footprint– Exalogic Control VMs consolidated into 3
virtual machines (previously 5)• VM1 will run OVMM, DB, EC and OVAB
Deployer apps• VM2 will run PC1• VM3 will run PC2
– Control VM’s spread across 2 compute nodes (VM1 and VM2 on node 1, VM3 on node 2)

Echo – Base Image and Base Template Enhancements
– Oracle Linux Server 5.8 as part of EBI and base template– OS watcher added by default to the base template
• OS Watcher (OSW) is a collection of UNIX shell scripts intended to collect and archive operating system and network metrics to aid support in diagnosing performance issues
• OS Watcher installed, configured and running by default on OVS nodes, guest VMs, control VMs.
– Exalogic Guest Base Template support for LVM to partition local disks• LVM is a Logical Volume Manager for the Linux operating system
• LVM provides a higher-level view of the disk storage on a computer system than the traditional view of disks and partitions
– Exalogic Guest Base Template based on Linux server installation • Minimal install of necessary RPMs only
– imageinfo and imagehistory part of the base template• Helps in patching and upgrade
Oracle Linux Server release 5.8Kernel 2.6.32-400.26.3.el5uek on an x86_64
34 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
Echo – Performance Improvements
• IMB Improvements:– Support for IMB 1.1. IMB 1.1 has better performance and
fixes multiple bugs found in the older IMB 1.0 version.
• OVM 3.2.1 support: – Better performance and concurrency handling– Major improvements in stability of the platform
35 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
Echo – Enhanced ECU
• Better Install Experience and better documentation
• ECU with more automation and usability enhancements– Provides the ability to run a range of steps or a particular step– Each run of the step is recorded– Prevents users from skipping steps during execution of ECU– Provides an option not to be recorded (run_step_archaic) and
once this option is used the rest of the steps need to run unrecorded
Exalogic Configuration Utility (ECU)
36 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
ECU Spreadsheet for Full Virtual or Hybrid
• Same ECU process for Full Virtual or Mixed (Hybrid) rack installation
• The only difference is in the spreadsheet selection– Mixed Rack = [No]
– Mixed Rack = Virtualized• Top compute nodes OR
• Bottom compute nodes
• the rest are physical
Same Exalogic Configuration Process

Echo Features Part IIOracle Virtual Assembly Builder (OVAB)
38 | © 2013 Oracle Corporation
Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder (OVAB)
• Accelerates and simplifies provisioning of complete multi-tier application topologies
• Is capable of capturing application topologies comprised of Oracle and non-Oracle products
• Applications can be fully deployed quickly and efficiently using application and user defined metadata
• Drive single-step, template-based deployment of multi-tier applications to virtualized environments
• Capture the configuration of each software component from an existing application environment and package them into a collection of customized software appliances
