Although we gave the oracle 10g id 4GIG memory and more than 6GIG of swap I haven't actually used vmstat to look at how much they really use.
-----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Carroll Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 3:35 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Oracle 10g install question Hi A group is wanting to install Oracle 10g and is asking for a server with 3Gb Memory and swap at 1.5x the memory This sounds like an Intel install but is out of the Linux for zSeries install guide. What have you seen as to what is really needed to install and run oracle? Do I really need a server that large and with that much swap space?
