Dennis,  

    earlier my buffer cache was 300MB that time the cache hit ratio was 81% ,so i thought to increase the size by 100mb and incresed .but again the cache hit ratio is 81%.means the problem is not the buffer cache.

     the top wait event is 'db file scattered read' ,i increased the db_file_multiblock_read_count from 16 to 64 but still this the top one wait event.

         db version is 8.0.5 ,OS is AIX 4.3 on RS/6000.

  pls suggest if need to correct something ...

Thanks

Arvind

   What makes you suspect you've configured your buffer cache too large? A better question might be "how can I tell if my buffer cache is properly sized?". Start by checking your wait times. What are your top 3 waits? Also, what is your (cough, cough) average buffer hit ratio?
