Kernel and memory settings on a 500G RAM server

edited Apr 22, 2016 5:02AM in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered

Hello,

We're going to have a dedicated database machine with only Oracle 11.2.0.4 running that will have 504G of RAM (reported by free -g). Using Red Hat 6 as the OS. There will only be one instance on the machine.

It'll be a fairly big database by the time is gets on the machine (estimated at 4T) with 1000 simultaneous connections. I'd like to give it as much memory as possible.

So, what should kernel.shmmax and shmall be set to? And what could I give as MEMORY_TARGET and MEMORY_MAX_TARGET?

TIA.

Howdy, Stranger!
