The fact that your guest appeared to go to sleep and adding QUICKDSP fixed it indicates: 1. Your guest's virtual storage size is too big. 2. You need to examine your z/VM SRM parameters.
Take a look at this thread: http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvtype?LINUX-VM.44163 Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graeme Westerman NFU Mutual Insurance Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 5:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: VM user defs to run Oracle under SLES8 Hi, We have over this last week eventually managed to install Oracle 9i under SLES8 (31 bit) which is running under VM 4.4 to evaluate. One of the main issues we encountered was the Oracle installer just seemed to go to sleep and appeared to be a VM resource issue. The VM machine userid was defined with 1024M of storage and at the time the swap disk was defined as a V-DISK 60000 blks. After some investigation I defined in the vm machine userid OPTION QUICKDSP which resolved the issue of the installer going to sleep. The size of the swap disk turns out to be about 30m using the linux "free" cmd which we thought was too small to say the least. Looking at the VM manual it appears that you can set the V-DISK size up to 4194296 blocks but I cannot get any where near that size. The max I seem to be able to define is "MDISK 203 FB-512 V-DISK 1900000 WV". Has anyone got any comments on what would be a reasonable size for memory / swap allocation for running Oracle 9i ? Our DBA's would like to create a production sized database to stress test to see how it performs etc as they only have used Oracle on an intel platform. Thanks in advance....
