Re: Memory issue with Oracle 10g database on Sun Server T5140 with Solaris 10

That's strange. When SGA_TARGET is 512M, what are the sizes of the buffer 
cache, shared pool, etc. Have you tried manually setting the cache sizes and 
not using SGA_TARGET?

On our server the cpu_count was 64 and that required a 256M buffer pool (64 x 
4M granule size). The total sga was around 500M. When I set cpu_count to 8, I 
could have a 350M SGA. Actually Oracle would let me set it lower but that size 
fit out reguirements. I was using the old manual sizing (db_cache_size, 
shared_pool_size, etc).

These were small dev/test databases.

  Brad,

  I tried setting the cpu_count to 8 and then SGA_TARGET of 256M didn't work 
and had to use SGA_TARGET as 512M.

  Thanks,
  Ashoke
