I'm beginning the process of testing/tuning the new nodes before rolling them into production, but am trying to find the best starting point for that effort. What non-default kernel parameters beyond what is in the install docs are people using to improve performance? How about db parameter values (i.e. CPU_COUNT, etc)? BTW, I've read the MOS docs. They're mildly helpful and also sometimes conflicting... Has anybody experimented with using the new(ish) version of mtmalloc that came with Solaris 10 08/11 on their db servers? If so, what were the results from that change? Any responses are appreciated. Thanks, Aaron -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
