I'm a Solaris SA and my Oracle DBA can't answer my question. Maybe you guys can help me out? What is the recommended location/layout for Oracle database files? I've been told that certain types of files should not be placed with other certain types of files (example, indexes should not be...

Similar to a previous post, but different... Our programmers are running top, sar, and vmstat and are seeing that only 65 megs out of 2 gigs are free, even when there's hardly anything running on the system. I know that can't be taken at face value since it's some kind of high/low water mark...

This is why I'm so confused about AIO, KAIO, Direct I/O: all the conflicting information. If we're using mounted filesystems (UFS), is AIO/KAIO present by default or not? Is it being used? What if we're also using RAID Manager v6.x and Veritas Volume Manager 3.x.x (not VxVS) on Sun A1000's on...

Our Oracle DBA wants to know if Asychronous I/O is enabled on our Solaris 2.6 Sun E6500. We are running Oracle DB v8.0.6 and v9.0.1, and he needs to know this in order to properly tune the database(s). What is asynch I/O exactly? How to enable it and verify that it's been enabled and in use...

You mean a Sun Enterprise E6500 with 12 400-MHz CPUs (8-MB ecache each) and 12-GB of RAM isn't a big enough server to run a simple lousy GUI and an Oracle RDBMS app at the same time? You seem to miss the point - it's SUPPOSED to work. Regardless of the size of the server. Period. It's not...

" So Doc, it hurts when I lift my arm up over my head. What should I do?" "Don't lift your arm up over your head!" "Thanks a lot, Doc. Now why didn't I think of that? I guess that's why you make the big bucks." ;-) I was hoping for a better answer than to...
