Install on multiple EBS volumes

  • Install the database and SharePlex on Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS). An EBS volume is persistent storage, whereas the default Amazon storage is non-persistent and data is lost when the instance shuts down. EBS volumes also provide better performance. Minimum size for a volume is 1GB.
  • To optimize disk performance, create multiple EBS volumes and combine them by using software RAID. According to benchmarks, the optimal number of EBS volumes is 8.
 

Assign Elastic IP addresses

Amazon Elastic IP addresses are static, which satisfy SharePlex requirements. An Elastic IP must be created and assigned to both the source and target machines that will be used with SharePlex.

About the SharePlex installers

There are different installers for SharePlex based on the type of operating system. This topic helps you understand the differences and the naming conventions used.

The installer installs the following items:

Overview of SharePlex Oracle cluster support

Overview of SharePlex Oracle cluster support

SharePlex integrates with Oracle Clusterware cluster hardware and software to maintain the high availability of data capture and uninterrupted replication to your targets. If the node where SharePlex is running fails or must be taken out of the cluster for maintenance, SharePlex can be started on another server by the cluster software. SharePlex start and stop is controlled through the cluster.

These instructions assume that the cluster solution is already installed according to the cluster documentation, tested, and is functioning, and they are not a substitute for the documentation. Additional steps that are specific to your cluster installation may be required.

The following diagram shows SharePlex installed into an Oracle RAC cluster:
