This is just a short blog entry here to refer folks interested in SLOB to the following links:
- A great example of using SLOB to learn platform performance characteristics–specifically ASM mirroring.
- A SLOB Setup Cheat Sheet by Karl Arao.

Hey kevin, thanks for linking.. BTW here’s the permalink of the wiki SLOB cheat sheet http://goo.gl/yKa45

The link for the SLOB Setup cheat sheet doesn’t work 😦
@aus_effendi : It should now… sorry about that…
Another suggestion… anyone who is leaving batches of SLOB tests running overnight might want to think about disabling the automated maintenance tasks in the scheduler otherwise the resource manager can start skewing your results, giving you Top 5 wait events such as “resmgr: cpu quantum”
Automatic maintenance tasks can be disabled by running:
EXEC DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN.DISABLE;
