ORA-00059: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded

534640Oct 11 2006 — edited Apr 9 2012
Hi All,
I m getting the following error
ORA-00059: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded
As data_files parameter reaches its maximum value.
Can any one tell me how to change the value dynamically. Our 10G ver2 database is 24/7 operational. So i dont want to shutdown and restart. Is there any other solution to change the value.
I tried to change the pfile value and then recreated spfile and again facing the same problem
Thanks

No.


Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware. For Oracle RAC, Oracle will only
accept Service Requests as described in this note on Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later
releases.

See Oracle note :

Support Position for Oracle Products Running on VMWare Virtualized Environments [ID 249212.1]
d.loganwood
As the previous responder points out, whilst Oracle does not actively certify its products in VMWare environments, it will provide support provided the issue is already known on the guest OS, or it can be reproduced outside a VMWare environment.

I know of many organisations running VMWare with RAC, including my own although we tend NOT to use it in Production environments. Oracle has many resource management capabilities built in to the RDBMS and the Grid Infrastructure which only work well if Oracle has control of all of the resources on a server.

I guess if you're not satisfied with our responses, you should direct your question to Oracle Support rather than this forum. Certification of VMWare is probably as much (or may be mostly) a business decision by Oracle and us Forum members can't generally explain those decisions.
