App running slow after system migration from Oracle 9i to 10g, OS: from 32bit to 64bit. Storage: non-ASM -> ASM. where to begin covering enough ground that would improve end user experience due to the shift of gears?

evaluating Xen Hypervisor 4. Oracle VM 2.2 based on Xen 3.4. so far so good. networking/storage is still a bit murky. far too many roads one can travel.

An engineering Ph.D student at my local higher Ed. institutional has passed her candidacy exam and dissertation proposal only 3 weeks ago. One morning, her electronic pass to gain access to research lab wouldn't let her in. Later, she learned that PI of her research group has fired her. If no other research group will take her in, does it translate to the fact that her Ph.D study/career with this particular institution is finished? I hope it is for good reason to expel her thus by the PI.

things to write, 'trusted network and improper invocation of class 'SOP D14'...

1. we know that one instance of violation of SOP D14 is for someone to ssh/scp packets from trusted network to untrusted network. Yet transfer a log file to ftp.emc.com via anonymous login is not considered a violation. From firefox within a trusted network, using drop.io plugin, drop a file to a private drop, i.e. http://drop.io/websphere/sl000913.pdf had a success run but later attempts were blocked.

2. We were informed that within sys admin team and dev team, no one shall be allowed to create OS account for another team member on a workstation that is NOT assigned to that person. This is for compliance with class 'SOP D14'. I shall argue the invocation of 'SOP D14' in this scenario is wrong headed!

Argument 1: Security concerns must be concentrated in the peripheral of a trusted network. Within trusted networks, if security concerns overrules trust relationships among team members and their system resources, this trusted network is going to be not only inefficient but self-destructive.

Argument 2: It is impossible to enforce 'SOP D14' within trusted network if Quality Assurance is going to be done at all among sys admins & dev team members. What is the difference between ssh/scp to another member's workstation vs. open your browser and try this https://url ??? Is my application working right?

email draft
T.P.,

Your attitude is disaster in itself. You may flatter yourself with Oracle DBA, Oracle Forms/Reports designer titles, it is NOT my pleasure to work with you or to teach you things you refuse to learn. With all of our effort to bring you in this team, if I still have to fill out this SAN form for you, I disqualify you to be on my team and on disaster recovery team.

I can not hide my contempt for you. We do our job as a team in ITB. On the contrary to what you attempted to be, speaking from a higher moral ground at our unit meeting, you seek favors to work from home, to work overtime, more than anyone else on the team and not as a team but mostly by yourself and for yourself. ( Don't think I haven't sensed any discomfort by true professionals at Positron on your work attitude)

So with due respect to all my colleagues who had to put up with you over the years, I challenge you to earn respect back from me and from your team.

Sincerely

Yours

team mate
