• Storage Experience with EMC server-side setup and configuration. This experience was used in teh following ways:
• Used Confidential shell to automate teh discovery of LUN IDs to be move for a multi-node, multi-terabyte DB2 database reconfiguration on AIX P6 servers.
• Confidential shell scripting for new hardware configuration via HMC command line.
• Confidential shell scripting from teh HMC command line uses to report on current hardware capacities.
• Confidential shell script from teh HMC command line to DLPAR database server to add 8 CPU in an uncapped environment and 36 GB of memory.
• Identifying and tracking multi-terabyte LUN allocation for 400+ AIX server project. This effort was crucial for identifying and resolving file systems redundancy prior to go-live.
• Experience implementing, configuring and automating EMC Timefinder Cloning in an AIX server environment for large multi-terabyte database servers. Confidential shell scripting was used to automate Timefinder cloning all for 11 database instances on 25 AIX servers.
• Provide leadership for Proof-of-Concept of new EMC Snapvx technology on VMAX3 storage arrays.
• Training team members on VIO-Server setup and deployment, HEA configurations, Timefinder operation.
• Work with design team lead and project manager in teh review of server configuration for new projects.
• Performance tuning: Identified and eliminated memory constraint caused during backup by changing mount options to release behind read write for backup file systems. Identify and increase pbuf parameter for disk IO constraints.
• Open source software PHP / PERL project. This consisted of downloading both PHP and PERL source code and compiling it along with teh DB2 interface module for each software package for use on AIX server used to monitor DB2 database farm.
• Familiar with SRDF replication. And NPIV configurations and implementation.
• Familiar with SAP HANA installation and operation.
• Experience with SAP HANA studio and cockpit.
• Proof-of-Concept for HANA Backup, Recover, redirected recovery using NetBackup ‘backint’ and disk.
• DB2 backup and recovery using NetBackup.
• Automation for backup and recovery operations via NetBackup for new HANA, Sybase, DB2, hardware projects.
• AIX SMIT customization. Created custom smit menus for database team.
• Performance tuning NetBackup infrastructure. Collected data and presented to managers and team members to explain performance issues. Provide Root Cause Analysis.
