How To Enable HCC (Hybrid

Columnar Compression) in Oracle
Databases Running On ZFS
Storage Appliance?

ON FEBRUARY 11, 2013 / BY TALIPHAKANOZTURK / IN

HCC (HYBRID COLUMNAR COMPRESSION), ZFS STORAGE
APPLIANCE / 1 COMMENT
HCC (Hybrid Columnar Compression) is appeared only with Exadata
but has recently become available to Oracle Databases using ZFS
Storage Appliance and Pillar as the database storage. HCC is actually
free with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. No additional database
options and no additional ZFS Storage Appliance options are required.
HCC requires Oracle Database version 11.2.0.3. To enable HCC in
Oracle Databases running on ZFS Storage Appliance, we need to install
patch set update of 13343438.

1- Determine whether any currently installed one-off patches conflict

with the psu (patch set update) as follows.

unzip p13343438_112030_Linux-x86-64.zip
opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir ./13343438

Note: Please download correct psu file for your platform

(p13343438_11203_.zip)

2- Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located
and then run the OPatch utility as follows.

cd 13343438
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply

3- The following step loads modified SQL files into the database. For a
RAC environment, perform these steps on only one node. For each
database instance running on the Oracle home being patched, connect
to the database using SQL*Plus and run the catbundle.sql script as
follows.

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> STARTUP
SQL> @catbundle.sql psu apply

4- Check the following log files for any errors.

vi $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/catbundle/catbundle_PSU__APPLY_.log
vi
$ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/catbundle/catbundle_PSU__GENERATE_.log

5- If you are using the RMAN, the catalog needs to be upgraded. Enter
the following command to upgrade catalog.

rman catalog username/password@tns

RMAN> UPGRADE CATALOG;

Now, you can use HCC in Oracle Databases running on Oracle ZFS
Storage Appliance.
