Hello,
i would like help with Sun sizing for Oracle server. I am running an
Enterprise 3000 (2x 176Mhz) attached to SSA 100 (nine years old). The
SSA's siblings (GIS use) started to fail about a year ago and are being
replaced with D1000's. I need the e3000 for another use, and propose to
replace the e3000/SSA100 with an ultra 2 class system (e250) or e450 and
2 x D1000.
the DBA says that i am file system bound only (considering veratos
(sp)). we are running two or more small Oracle databases with web
functionality and a peak of 150-200 users, average load of 60. processor
and disks are essentially idle on e3000.
Sun wants to sell me e3500, i think it is serious overkill considering
the load on the e3000.
My DBA would like to talk to shops running similar configurations. any
comments are welcome. thank you.
