 Managing Resources Between PDBs

• PDBs compete for shared resources

– CPU
– Parallel execution servers
– Sessions
– I/O
• Resource Manager enables policies that
prioritize/manage shared resources
– Set hard limits in consolidated environment
– ‘get what you pay for’

 Database Resource Manager
• In a CDB, Resource Manager can manage resources on two basic levels:
– CDB level - Resource Manager can manage the workloads for multiple PDBs
• Using CDB Resource Plan
– PDB level - Resource Manager can manage the workloads within each PDB
• Using PDB Resource Plan
• Resource Manager allocates the resources in two steps:
– It allocates a portion of the system's resources to each PDB (CDB Plan)
– In a specific PDB, it allocates a portion of system resources obtained in Step 1
to each session connected to the PDB (PDB Plan)
• Note: All activity in the root is automatically managed by Resource
Manager

 Database Resource Manager
• Using Database Resource Manager, you can:
– Specify that different PDBs should receive different shares of resources
– Limit the CPU usage of a particular PDB
– Limit the number of parallel execution servers that a particular PDB can use
– Limit the resource usage of different sessions connected to a single PDB
– Monitor the resource usage of PDBs
• Resources Managed:
– CPU
– Parallel execution servers
– Sessions
– Exadata I/O

 CDB Resource Plan
• A CDB resource plan allocates resources to PDBs according a set of
resource plan directives
• The resource plan directives control the allocation of:
– CPU
– Parallel execution servers
• The directives use a share value that you specify for each PDB
– A higher share value results in more resources
• You can also specify utilization limits for PDBs
– For CPU and parallel servers
– Can be used in conjunction with shares

 PDB Resource Plan
• A PDB resource plan determines how the resources allocated to a specific
PDB are allocated to consumer groups within that PDB
– A PDB resource plan is similar to a resource plan for a non-CDB
• You create directives for a PDB resource plan using the
CREATE_PLAN_DIRECTIVE procedure in the
DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER package

• You create directives for a CDB resource plan using the

CREATE_CDB_PLAN_DIRECTIVE procedure in the
DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER package

They also restrict their resource usage, based on what the client paid
