I have a request for a linux server that will be hosting an oracle data base.
The requestor has requested 8G of main memory and 8G of swap (Our normal server usually has 1.5G of swap - .5 on dasd and 1G on vdisk). Does anyone have any thoughts about giving this person 8G of swap ? I've been told that if a server is swapping a lot, then it needs more main memory, not more swap space. Are there any recommendations for an oracle server ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
