C Exadata-Specific Information in Oracle Database Dictionary Views

C.1 Oracle Database Dictionary Views

The Oracle Database dictionary contains views that are specific to Oracle Exadata.

C.1.1 Using the V$CELL and GV$CELL Views to Display Oracle Exadata Storage Server Identification

The V$CELL view provides identifying information about cells.

Table C-1 V$CELL View Columns and Descriptions

Column Description

CELL_HASHVAL

A numeric hash value for the cell. For example:

138889696

Note: The cell hash value is often contained in the P1 argument for cell-related wait events in the V$SESSION_WAIT and V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY views. You can join to this column to identify the corresponding cell.

CELL_PATH

A character string (maximum 400) that specifies the IP addresses of the cell. These are the IP addresses specified in the cellip.ora file.

CELL_TYPE

The type of storage cell. Either EXADATA or BDSQL.

The GV$CELL view contains the same columns as the V$CELL view, and includes the INST_ID column. The INST_ID column displays the instance number from which the associated V$ view information was obtained. Querying a GV$ view retrieves the V$ view information from all qualified instances.

C.1.2 About the V$CELL_ Views

The views prefixed with V$CELL_ contain internal statistical information, which is used by Oracle Support Services.

This includes the following views:

  • V$CELL_CONFIG
  • V$CELL_CONFIG_INFO
  • V$CELL_THREAD_HISTORY
  • V$CELL_DB
  • V$CELL_DISK
  • V$CELL_DISK_HISTORY
  • V$CELL_GLOBAL
  • V$CELL_GLOBAL_HISTORY
  • V$CELL_IOREASON
  • V$CELL_IOREASON_NAME
  • V$CELL_METRIC_DESC
  • V$CELL_REQUEST_TOTALS
  • V$CELL_STATE
  • V$CELL_THREAD_HISTORY
  • V$CELL_OFL_THREAD_HISTORY
  • V$CELL_OPEN_ALERTS

These views contain instantaneous statistical information that may be easily misinterpreted or incomplete when viewed in isolation. Instead, use the corresponding Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) views, which are prefixed with DBA_HIST_CELL_. Or, use the AWR report.

C.1.3 Using V$BACKUP_DATAFILE with Oracle Exadata Storage Server

The V$BACKUP_DATAFILE view contains columns relevant to Oracle Exadata Storage Server during Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) incremental backups.

Table C-2 V$BACKUP_DATAFILE Columns and Descriptions

Column Description

BLOCKS

Size of the backup data file in blocks.

BLOCKS_READ

The number of blocks that were scanned while taking this backup. If this is an incremental backup, and block change tracking was used to optimize the backup, then the value of this column is smaller than DATAFILE_BLOCKS. Otherwise, the value of this column is the same as DATAFILE_BLOCKS.

BLOCKS_SKIPPED_IN_CELL

The number of blocks that were read and filtered at the Oracle Exadata Storage Server to optimize the RMAN incremental backup.

DATAFILE_BLOCKS

Size of the data file in blocks at backup time. This value is also the number of blocks taken by the data file restarted from this backup.

The percentage of blocks skipped by Oracle Exadata System Software is calculated as follows:

(BLOCKS_SKIPPED_IN_CELL / BLOCKS_READ) * 100

This number changes significantly based on block change tracking.

If block change tracking for fast incremental backups is used, then most of the filtering is done at the database using the change tracking file, and the blocks are skipped before making an I/O request to the cell. If block change tracking is not used, then all of the blocks are filtered at the cell.
