Hi Andy,

on my HPUX box, I've set up Oracle to the required values for ONE instance, and I'm quite happily, so far, running 4 instances at the same time. No problems so far, but I suspect it may depend on what the app is trying to do in the database.

At home on Linux (MDK 9.1) I've just set up the required parameters - I've only got one instance and I am unlikely to need more.

HTH Cheers,
Norman.

Conversation: LINUX Kernel Parameters
Subject: LINUX Kernel Parameters

Hi,

OS: Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1
DB: Oracle 9.2

I followed the instructions in the installation manual, and was able to install the 9.2 database. My question is that after having created the 1st instance, I would like to add additional instances.

The installation document only gives the kernel parameter values for one instance. Should I simply multiply the values by number of instances and adjust the values upwards.

I know UNIX enough to find my way around, however not to the level as to make sense of how and what effects these kernel parameters would have on database processing on LINUX.

Any help would be really appreciated.
