Folks As part of a 2 node RAC performance benchmark, DB Server nodes are choking at 100% CPU Usage, when 3000 dedicated server sessions are doing OLTP transactions Config:- DB Servers - 2 RAC Nodes - 8 CPUs HP Itanium 2,1.6 Ghz with 48GB Memory HP-UX ver B11.23 Storage XP12000 - 512 Disks Disk 146 GB - 15 RPM RAID 0/1 Oracle 10.2.0.2 Qs 1 - Do we need to Tune the below TOP resource consuming SQL Queries? Qs 2 - Will Data partitioning Help i.e. Manually segregate Transactions so that they access Different oracle BLOCKS from different RAC Nodes ? Qs 3 - Any init.ora parameters advisable? Will setting shared_pool_reserved_size help? (shared_pool_size = 1610612736) Qs 4 - Any other ideas, Links / Docs for the same?
