I've a customer running a development environment of two OraApps 11.5.8 database instances and one more database instance (for web development under WebLogic), all on a Sun V100.
Yes, that is a rack-mountable Solaris machine of 1U rack height with a maximum configuration of one (1) UltraSPARC-III CPU, 1.0 Gb of RAM, and three 36-Gb HDD. Main storage is a NAS (since the machine doesn't accommodate SCSI or FC adapters). Foolishly underconfigured, yes. Impossible or difficult, no. on 9/27/03 7:54 AM, Tanel Poder at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > What the heck was that? > > ----- Original Message ----- > To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 2:54 AM > > >> >> Mario: >> >> If you are using Solaris with 2GB of memory, it will be awfully difficult, >> if not impossible, to run 6 instances of Oracle8i simultaneously. >> Basically, because of the use of semaphores and the way Solaris manages >> memory, I would say you could run 3 or 4 instances , depending on their >> size.
