I understand it is provided in Solaris. Question is: how automatic is it then? As in: all Oracle instances grab 4M pagesize for SGA? Or does the Oracle executable have to be pre-configured with the wanted size using ppgsz(1)? Is 4M the default size? And is there an option to say some instances use larger page sizes, some don't? -- Cheers Nuno Souto dbvision@xxxxxxxxxxxx On 30/04/2013 7:04 PM, Radoulov, Dimitre wrote: > On 30/04/2013 09:28, Nuno Souto wrote: >> [...] >> Wonder if someone with Solaris experience on this could come up with a >> similar page so we got most *n*xes covered? > With Solaris it should be automatic, > see www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/Multiple_Page_Size_Support > and www.linkedin.com/groups/Solaris-Huge-pages-60651.S.78812448. > > Oracle 11.2 on Solaris 10 (the Pgsz column): > > $ uname -sr > SunOS 5.10 > $ pmap -sx 10693 | nawk 'NR == 2 || $6 ~ /[MG]/' > Address Kbytes RSS Anon Locked Pgsz > Mode Mapped File > 0000000100000000 151552 151552 - - 4M r-x-- > oracle > 0000000109C00000 36864 36864 - - 4M r-x-- > oracle > 0000000380000000 2097152 2097152 - 2097152 -2G > rwxsR [ ism shmid=0x47000064 ] > 0000000400000000 1048576 1048576 - 1048576 256M > rwxsR [ ism shmid=0x47000064 ] > FFFFFFFF7D800000 4096 4096 - - 4M r-x-- > libhasgen11.so > > -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
