RMOUG 2012 training days

In the next few days I’ll be at RMOUG 2012 training days! and I’ll be again presenting the topic so dear to my heart. Mining the AWR I’ve updated the material with a couple of new research and findings, some of them are as follows:

• CPU Wait (new metric in 11g Performance page)
• Latency issues on virtualized environments

So if you are attending the RMOUG training days, stop by at my session @ room 401 Thursday 9:45 am-10:45 am

There will also be a RAC Attack at the exhibition area so that must be fun

and don’t forget to follow RMOUG’s twitter @RMOUG_ORG for updates during the conference!

See yah!

 

Update: 

I had a great time at RMOUG, was able to meet old/new friends and had a good number of attendees. The organizers really did a good job  Here’s the updated PPT I used during the presentation.
That’s the most recent, the one on the RMOUG is not yet updated. For the scripts http://karlarao.wordpress.com/scripts-resources/ they are all at the “PerformanceAndTroubleshooting” folder

Thanks to all who attended my presentation, I know that’s a bit too much technical stuff for 1hour presentation squeezing all 101 slides and all that info. The best way is to go through my notes on the slides, check out all the links I pointed, and try to poke around on the scripts. And I assure you will learn tons of stuff & greatly appreciate the material  :)

VirtaThon – Mining the AWR

Earlier I did a presentation at VirtaThon which is the same topic that I presented at Hotsos 2011.. Mining the AWR and Capacity Planning are very dear to my heart and up until now I’m using every research I did on that presentation to work on an “Exadata Provisioning Tool” which I’m planning to present at the next Hotsos 2012… well, the only thing that’s different this time is.. my attendees are virtual geeks all over the world

I was at the Virtual Room #100, and the staff earlier were really helpful and most of all I had fun doing that webinar.. and I get to “doodle” on a lot of my slides!

Overall, that was a fun first time experience

Check out the presentation slides below and the scripts here..

BTW, as per Tariq Farooq.. Everything is being recorded! and they will be “broken up” and uploaded within a week or so.. So I’ll be updating this post and include that recording once the video comes out

Hope I’ve shared you some good stuff

NoCOUG Journal – Ask the Oracle ACEs – Why is my database slow?

Dave Abercrombie mailed me earlier that the May 2011 NoCOUG Journal is already out and can be viewed online at http://www.nocoug.org/Journal/NoCOUG_Journal_201105.pdf.

I met Dave at Hotsos 2011 when he attended my presentation.. apparently we have the same interest about Statistics, Linear Regression, AWR, AAS and he’s got awesome blogs about it at http://aberdave.blogspot.com. Also being the Journal Editor at Northern California Oracle Users’s Group, he invited me to write a short article about the question:

Why is my database slow?

The NoCOUG Journal having a very wide readership with the last issue being downloaded around 6000 times from more than 200 countries would be a really good venue to share my performance troubleshooting principle which works every time!
