SUMMARY Does Anyone Have Experience of Using The Fair Share Sche duler With Oracle

Thanks for all the responses, especially Deborah Crocker who shared
her experience of Solaris 10

We have a large Sun server running Solaris 9 which hosts about six oracle
databases. At peak times all the cpu's on the box are max'ed out and we'd
like to ring-fence one of the oracle databases so that it is always able
to get about 85% of the available cpu power. Does anyone have any
practical experience of if the fair share scheduler works well with
oracle.

The server in question is running Solaris 9 9/05, the oracle db is 920
and we've already got the SUNWfss package installed.

Any other suggestions for dealing with this welcome - Solaris 10 and zones
is not an option at the moment though.

thanks

James


We're using it under Solaris 10, although we've never maxed out the CPUs.
We've got a similar scenario. We have a database that needs to get time, if
the box is ever maxed out.

One point that needs to be remembered is that the listener for your favored
database needs to be started in the same project that you run the database
in.

I have a "user.oracle" project that handles most stuff. Then there special
projects for the databases that need them. Our favored database has its own
listener on a separate port.
