Hi
Is your production going to have same init settings as this?
I am not sure why you set _b_tree_bitmap_plans to FALSE, it does does btree bitmap conversion on btree indexes (you said bitmap indexes?)
You need _system_trig_enabled to be TRUE!
_wait_for_sync and _check_block_after_checksum by default is true already, setting wait_for_sync to FALSE is quite dangerous
I was wondering how did you determine 256 for _log_simultaneous_copies?
Folks
A 4-node RAC BIG benchmark with Oracle 10g / AIX 5.3L using a Hybrid Banking App. is underway.
*Qs1 Does Cache fusion(Traffic between the nodes thru the interconnects) continue to be an expensive operation in Oracle 10g? *
To minimize Cache fusion, Manually Transactions have been grouped such that transactions accessing different DB Server Nodes access different respective Table partitions (& NOT the same Table partition). Thus Different Object BLOCKS are accessed in different DB Server nodes.
NOTE – Partitioning of heavier underlying tables has been done such that different partitions lie in DIFFERENT Tablespaces (& hence datafiles).
*Qs2 Is Low Latency Protocol - LLT protocol (of Veritas) equivalent or something similar available with GPFS? *
Currently default (UDP) is being used.
NOTE - A Past benchmark done by us on SUN using VXFS (Veritas) with both Low Latency Protocol (LLT) & User Datagram Protocol (UDP, Default) showed LLT had a *98% Lower interconnect utilization* versus UDP.
*Qs3* Any additional init.ora parameters for performance apart from the following which have been set?
db_writer_processes=16
db_cache_advice=OFF
event='10196 trace name context forever, level 10' (to disable index skip scan)
_library_cache_advice = FALSE
_log_simultaneous_copies 256
_b_tree_bitmap_plans = FALSE (as NO Bitmap indexes exist)
_check_block_after_checksum TRUE
_system_trig_enabled FALSE (Benchmark Has NO need for Triggers)
_wait_for_sync TRUE
NOTE - Standard features i.e. AUM, Tempfiles & ASSM are being used.
*Qs4 Other best practices to deploy?*
Will provide Statspack, Other diagnostics info. as needed.
Thanks indeed
