[ILUG] Oracle 11i and VM & elvtune recomendations.

[ILUG] Oracle 11i and VM & elvtune recomendations.

Hey all,

Anyone got any good recomendations for VM tuning with oracle 11i?
I have plenty for 8i and 9i but not for 11i. A good link would be sweet.
I have this guy who is complaining that his 8gig Oracle RHEL3 box is not
swapping!

But he has swap activated. Sure I could make it swap, but why would you
want to? Surely the system will eventually need to swap and go ahead and
do it?
I do not see any errors in the system, so i reckon leave well alone non?

He also has an I/O wait which is a tad high.
It goes from 42% to 72%. So I was thinking of changing the values in elvtune.

The default settings are for compatibility more than performance, so I was
thinking of changing them as follows:

# elvtune -r 2048 -w 4096 /dev/xxx
Its in a SAN though, any recomendations lads?

regards
Conor.
