10gR2, RHEL4, OCFS2, DL585 AMD Opteron 64bit
Im running a benchmark on the above hardware using hammerora (GPL TPC like
tool I saw a presention on at UK OUG 2005). All runs very fast to begin with
but then slows to a crawl. AWR/ADDM shows the reason for the slow down to be
HWM contention presumably do to a large number of multiple concurrent
inserts happening (once the initial HWM is breeched). I did some googling
and found lots of references to the _bump_highwatre_mark_count parameter to
"fix" this. My question is as I am using ASSM tablspaces surely this no
longer applies - there are no freelists/freelist groups on such tablespaces
if my understanding is correct. If this is so then why am I getting this
contention and how can it be fixed when using ASSM. I will try the parameter
next time I hit the issue.
Many thanks
Tim Onions
