Oracle实例囚笼（Instance Caging）

当多个实例运行在同一台服务器上时，为了避免实例间的相互影响，从oracle 11gr2开始推出了实例囚笼的概念。实例囚笼能够限制数据库实例使用的CPU资源。使用实例囚笼，只需要设置CPU_COUT和resource_manager_plan两个参数。该功能可以用于的数据库资源整合，而取代之前的虚拟化和分区等传统的资源分割方法

1，打开swingbench准备设置后进行压力测试（具体方法见前面文章）
2，查看服务器的CPU个数
select value from v$osstat where stat_name = 'NUM_CPUS';
3,开启Instance Caging，只需设置两个参数即可
alter system set cpu_count = 4;
alter system set resource_manager_plan = 'default_plan'; 
备注：这个地方很奇怪，第一次使用报错ORA-00450，经过一段时间后，设置竟然成功了

4，验证功能已经启用
sql> select instance_caging from v$rsrc_plan where is_top_plan = 'TRUE';

INS
---
ON
SQL> show parameter cpu_count; 

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
cpu_count                            integer     4
5，查看功能使用情况

SQL> select to_char(begin_time, 'HH24:MI') time, sum(avg_running_sessions) avg_running_sessions, sum(avg_waiting_sessions) avg_waiting_sessions from v$rsrcmgrmetric_history group by begin_time order by begin_time;

TIME  AVG_RUNNING_SESSIONS AVG_WAITING_SESSIONS
----- -------------------- --------------------
14:48               .82905           .000083333
14:49                 .536               .40295
14:50           .334233333           .060016667

17:30           8.53193333           4.39328333
17:31             15.85885                .0001
17:32              9.46965           22.3486667


avg_running_sessions是一分钟内的活动sessions数，如果次数远小于CPU_COUNT，这实例远没有达到限制。如果AVG_WAITING_SESSIONS很大，这系统基本达到最大限制了


6，可以动态的调整CPU_COUNT来调整实例使用的资源。下面是测试结果

a, 设置cpu_count为32，即不设置限制。
SQL> alter system set cpu_count =32;
开始压力测试，PC服务器的TPMC达到45万TPMC，CPU利用率75%左右
09:44:17          all     69.73      0.00      5.65      2.83      0.00     21.79
09:44:27          all     71.52      0.00      5.81      2.69      0.00     19.99
09:44:37          all     61.98      0.00      5.12      2.91      0.00     29.99
09:44:47          all     69.76      0.00      5.66      3.58      0.00     21.00

b, 设置实例囚笼功能，即限制CPU_cout为16，数据库出现大量resmgr:cpu quantum等待事件（这个和资源管理有关），此时系统利用率65%左右，但%user为50%左右，即16个cpu.TPMC为20万。能力受到限制
SQL> alter system set cpu_count=16;

09:49:28          CPU     %user     %nice   %system   %iowait    %steal     %idle
09:49:38          all     53.91      0.00      8.78      1.81      0.00     35.50
09:49:48          all     52.15      0.00      8.66      2.88      0.00     36.31
09:49:58          all     53.91      0.00      8.37      1.85      0.00     35.87
09:50:08          all     50.98      0.00      8.76      2.66      0.00     37.60
09:50:18          all     53.24      0.00      8.42      1.91      0.00     36.43


c, cpu_count=8；%User为27%，基本保持在8个CPU数量，TPMC 10万左右
09:57:38          CPU     %user     %nice   %system   %iowait    %steal     %idle
09:57:48          all     27.96      0.00      4.99      3.01      0.00     64.03
09:57:58          all     27.82      0.00      4.47      2.49      0.00     65.21
09:58:08          all     27.97      0.00      4.54      2.31      0.00     65.18

09:58:18          all     27.90      0.00      4.50      2.25      0.00     65.34

d,查看动态视图avg_running_sessions和cpu_count基本一致，说明已经达到最大限度了

SQL> select to_char(begin_time, 'HH24:MI') time, sum(avg_running_sessions) avg_running_sessions, sum(avg_waiting_sessions) avg_waiting_sessions from v$rsrcmgrmetric_history group by begin_time order by begin_time;

PURPOSE

This document provides a step-by-step guide for configuring Instance Caging. Instance Caging is an RDBMS feature for limiting the CPU usage of a database instance. Instance Caging is a valuable tool for database consolidation.

DETAILS

Determine Number of CPUs 

The first step is to determine the number of CPUs on your server, using the following query. In this context, we need the number of CPU threads (not the number of cores).

select value from v$osstat where stat_name = 'NUM_CPUS';

Determine "cpu_count" for All Instances 

The next step is to determine how the database instances on your server will share the CPU.  With Instance Caging, each instance's cpu_count specifies the maximum number of CPUs you want it to use at any time. The sum of the cpu_counts across all database instances determines the amount of isolation between the database instances and the efficiency of the server. 

For maximum isolation between the database instances, use the "partition" approach. With the partition approach, the sum of the cpu_counts is less than or equal to the number of CPUs, as determined in step 1. With hyper-threaded or CMT processors, you can achieve even more resource isolation if the sum of the cpu_counts is less than or equal to 75% of the number of CPUs. The partition approach is suitable for critical production databases that need very predictable performance.

For example, suppose the total number of CPUs (i.e. CPU threads) is 16.  Using the partition approach, we could set cpu_count=8 for database A, cpu_count=4 for database B, and cpu_count=4 for database C.  The sum of the cpu_counts is 16, which equals the number of CPUs. 

The disadvantage of the partition approach is that any CPU unused by one database instance cannot be used by another. Therefore, for non-critical databases where you also want to achieve better CPU utilization efficiency, use the "over-subscribe" approach. With the over-subscribe approach, the sum of the cpu_counts is less than or equal to 3x the number of CPUs, as determined in step 1.

For example, for a server with 16 CPUs, you could use the over-subscribe approach and set cpu_count=8 for database A, cpu_count=8 for database B, and cpu_count=8 for database C.  The sum of the cpu_counts is 24, which is greater than the number of CPUs.  Therefore, if all databases are using their full CPU allocation, there will be some CPU contention.

Enable Instance Caging 

To enable Instance Caging, set the cpu_count of each instance and then enable CPU Resource Manager.

alter system set cpu_count = 4; 
alter system set resource_manager_plan = 'default_plan';

Monitor Instance Caging 

To verify that Instance Caging is enabled, check that "instance_caging" equals "ON" and that "cpu_count" is set appropriately.

select instance_caging from v$rsrc_plan where is_top_plan = 'TRUE'; 
show parameter cpu_count;

To monitor Instance Caging on an instance, monitor the average number of running and waiting sessions.

select to_char(begin_time, 'HH24:MI') time, sum(avg_running_sessions) avg_running_sessions, sum(avg_waiting_sessions) avg_waiting_sessions from v$rsrcmgrmetric_history group by begin_time order by begin_time;

"avg_running_sessions" is the average number of running sessions for this minute. If avg_running_sessions is much smaller than cpu_count, the instance is not fully utilizing its cpu_count allocation. cpu_count could be decreased without affecting performance. 

"avg_waiting_sessions" is the average number of sessions waiting to be scheduled for this minute. If avg_waiting_sessions is consistently bigger than 0, the performance of the instance could be improved by increasing cpu_count by this amount.

Tuning Instance Caging

You can dynamically tune Instance Caging by adjusting the value of cpu_count.  Changes will take effect within seconds. 

We do not recommend that you change cpu_count too frequently, since changing its value has some overhead.  We also don't recommend that you set it to 1 or change the value from a very small number to an extremely large value.
