Oracle: OFA Part 5

Dear Readers,

My name is Franz Devantier, creator of this blog.  I am an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP DBA 11g) Security DBA.  I will be sharing with you the basic duties of an Oracle DBA, and also some of the undocumented, and not so well known tasks. 

OFA – Optimal Flexible Architecture

(Part 5, OFA Standard 7)

OFA Standard   7:  The ability to consistently refer to objects, regardless of the infrastructure changes that have taken place.

• Un-affected by the addition of disks, databases, data and users to the infrastructure.
• Un-affected by the movement of files around the environment.
• No maintenance on backup programs, and others needed, as a result of infrastructure changes.
• Zero maintenance required in terms of infrastructure changes
• Access to all the files, of a specific database, distributed over many file systems, and accessed from a central point dynamically.

Summary of the seven OFA standards

1. Sufficient space
2. Performance bottlenecks
3. Minimizing hardware costs
4. Minimizing the impact of disk failure
5. Home directories can be spread across multiple mount points, and the contents of one home directory can be distributed across several mount points.
6. It must be possible to add or move login home directories without having to revise programs that refer to them.
7. The ability to consistently refer to objects, regardless of the infrastructure changes that have taken place.
