Simply setting LOCK_SGA on or off does the trick. There is also a user capability that can be turned on or off as needed and it decides if Oracle can use largepages or not. I noted that a few years ago here: http://dbasrus.blogspot.com.au/2009/06/size-sometimes-does-matter.html And that reminds me I need to update it for Aix 7.1: things are slightly different there! Wonder if someone with Solaris experience on this could come up with a similar page so we got most *n*xes covered? -- Cheers Nuno Souto dbvision@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
