Chapter 6: Testing <strong>and</strong> Validation<br />

Orion<br />

validation<br />

Once the disk environment was set up on the CLARiiON CX4-960, the disk<br />

configuration was validated using an <strong>Oracle</strong> toolset called Orion. Orion is the <strong>Oracle</strong><br />

I/O Numbers Calibration Tool designed to simulate <strong>Oracle</strong> I/O workloads without<br />

having to create <strong>and</strong> run an <strong>Oracle</strong> database. It utilizes the <strong>Oracle</strong> database I/O<br />

libraries <strong>and</strong> can simulate <strong>OLTP</strong> workloads (small I/Os) or data warehouses (large<br />

I/Os). Orion is useful <strong>for</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing the per<strong>for</strong>mance capabilities of a storage<br />

system, either to uncover per<strong>for</strong>mance issues or to size a new database installation.<br />

Note<br />

Orion is a destructive tool so it should only be run against raw devices prior to<br />

installing any database or application.<br />

This graph shows total throughput on a single node, with four metaLUNs, consisting<br />

of 40 disks.<br />

This demonstrates the desired scaling.<br />
