Nutanix Era with oracle databases : Part 1 – Introduction

I’m currently setting up a lab for Nutanix Era in order to be able to provide some presentation on this subject and see how Nutanix Era interacts with Oracle databases.

pg_auto_failover: Failover and switchover scenarios

In the last post we had a look at the installation and setup of pg_auto_failover. We currently have one primary cluster and two replicas synchronizing from this primary cluster. But we potentially also have an issue in the setup: The monitor is running beside the primary instance on the same node and if that nodes goes down the monitor is… 

Documentum – LSS registerOracleVersionView script with wrong content

As discussed in a previous blog, working with LSS might prove a little bit challenging from time to time. In this blog, I wanted to share an error I saw while installing LSS 16.6.1 on an Oracle database.

Alfresco: some useful database queries

In my previous post, I talked about the Lifecycle of Alfresco Nodes. You may have noticed that I tried to insert in my explanations some elements that are specific to databases (tables, fields, aso…). These elements are quite essential to prepare a post like this one: more database oriented. I already explained what exactly are the consequences on the database side when… 

Pgbarman : gestion de sauvegarde et récupération PostgreSQL

Fin 2012, j’ai présenté « pgbarman », une solution de sauvegarde et récupération pour PostgreSQL et décrit son installation. Pgbarman fournit un ensemble de commandes vous permettant la mise en œuvre de sauvegardes vers un serveur dédié. Le principal intérêt est à mon sens la gestion d’un catalogue de vos sauvegardes et la génération de commandes destinées à une reconstruction locale ou sur…
