What are your specific Oracle performance issues? A snapshot of vmstat = is not really telling us anything. ----------------- Ron Reidy Lead DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Connie Milliken Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 12:41 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Performance issue can't identify Although I fear repercussions from Mladen :), I must ask for help = because I=20 am at my wit's end with this and really need some help...... I inherited a SunOS 5.8 Solaris 64-bit that has 3 Oracle 9.2.0.5 = databases=20 running on it with a total of 1700MB being used for SGAs. The box has = 4GB=20 RAM memory. Without any OS configuration changes being made (other = than=20 kernel parms), the databases were originally installed on the server as = it=20 came "out of the box". (Even the simplest things, such as copying = large=20 files can be slow so I am not convinced the problem is necessarily = Oracle). =20 However, does anyone see anything here that I don't see either related = to=20 Oracle or Unix or can recommend anything else to look into? With very=20 little running on any of the databases, this is what it looks like: oracle:/etc > vmstat 5 4 procs memory page disk faults = cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr s0 s1 s2 s3 in sy cs us = sy=20 id 0 0 3 4071688 356568 3 399 335 44 45 0 1 2 0 7 8 227 25 276 6 = 7=20 87 0 0 4 5319016 1707200 0 2 9 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 2 174 269 151 0 = 1=20 99 0 0 4 5319008 1707200 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17 0 2 2 273 276 181 0 = 1=20 99 0 0 4 5319008 1707200 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11 0 2 2 233 283 171 0 = 1=20 99 # swap -l swapfile dev swaplo blocks free /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 32,1 16 8395184 8058320 * Oracle tunables set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=3D4294967295 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=3D1 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=3D100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=3D32 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=3D300 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=3D4096 set semsys:seminfo_semmns=3D4096 set semsys:seminfo_semopm=3D100 set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=3D32767 * end Oracle tunables _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now!=20 http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l This electronic message transmission is a PRIVATE communication which = contains information which may be confidential or privileged.
