Avoiding Silent Data Corruption [29975]
Solutions from Emulex and Oracle Provide End-to-end Data Integrity
Silent data corruption is insidious but, fortunately, Oracle Database 11g with Oracle Automatic Storage Management; Oracle Linux 5.x or 6.x with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel versions 2.6.39-200.24.1 or later; Oracle ASMLib 2.0.8 or later; Emulex LPe12000-E or LPe12002-E with firmware 2.01a10 or later and driver 8.3.5.68.6p or later; and Emulex LightPulse LPe16000 or LPe16000B with firmware 1.1.21 or later and driver 8.3.5.68.6p or later create a solid preventive measure against the silent corruption of data. Martin Petersen and Sonny Singh's article "How to Prevent Silent Data Corruption" describes the perils associated with silent data corruption and explains the implementation of the data integrity solution.

How to Migrate Oracle Database 10 From Oracle Solaris 8 to Oracle Solaris 11 [28394]
Using the Oracle Solaris 8 P2V (Physical to Virtual) Tool
Orgad Kimchi has created a procedure for migrating Oracle Database from Oracle Solaris 8 to Oracle Solaris 11. His procedure utilizes the Oracle Solaris 8 P2V (physical to virtual) Archiver tool to migrate a physical Oracle Solaris 8 system with Oracle Database 10.2.0.5 and an Oracle Automatic Storage Management file system located on SAN storage connected via a Fibre Channel HBA into an Oracle Solaris 8 branded zone inside an Oracle Solaris 10 guest domain on top of an Oracle Solaris 11 control domain. Kimchi demonstrates both how to preserve the host information and how to modify the host name.

Creating and Configuring Virtual Ports Controlled by a Virtual Machine [26085]
A Feature of Oracle Solaris 11
Alexandre Chartre explains how to configure a SAN environment (such as zoning, LUN masking or QoS) using virtual (NPIV) instead of physical ports. This provides flexibility as you can then easily transfer a configuration from one physical HBA to another by just configuring a new HBA with the appropriate N_Port ID. In a virtual environment, it can be convenient to associate a virtual port with a virtual machine, and to have all LUNs visible through this virtual port assigned to the virtual machine. You can then manage the association of LUNs and virtual machines through the configuration of your SAN.

Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel and Silent Data Corruption [23766]
Addressed by Oracle and Emulex HBA
Surely one of the principal concerns of DBAs and Sys Admins is silent data corruption. Now, with the release of the HBA from Emulex supporting T10 Protection Information (T10-PI), employed in combination with Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, that worry gets a downgrade. As Emulex says in its press release, "The implementation of the T10-PI standard via Emulex's BlockGuard feature, in conjunction with other industry player's implementations, ensures that data is validated as it moves through the data path, from the application, to the HBA, to storage, enabling seamless end-to-end integrity." For more information on this technology, see the links below.
