Running Oracle 11 on Linux on z. Z/VM LPAR assigned 4 IFL's. We have a linux guest that got really busy for about 10-15 minutes nightly. Oracle process. Guest has 2 virtual CPU's defined.
1) Our Oracle DBA (consultant and I believe he is coming from an intel world) says we need more CPU's. I say no. Who's right and why? 2) on another guest on the same LPAR, we have 4 CPU's defined just to run Oracle (for PeopleSoft). I've never seen the CPU's 250% (out of 400%). Should we drop it down to 3 (The oracle DBA says no and wants more).
