Hi Richard,
The consensus best
practice is to have enough RAM that you don't need to
swap. If you need to
swap, your life will be sad no matter what your disk
config is.
From my understanding Solaris does not overcommit memory allocation, so every
allocation must be backed by some form of
Using raidz in zfs or raidz2 do all the disks have to be the same size.

I currently run 6 Oracle 9i and 10g dbs using 8GB SGA apiece in containers on a
v890 and find no difficulties starting Oracle (though we don't start all the
dbs truly simultaneously). The ARC cache doesn't ramp up until a lot of IO has

Hi Kory,
No, they don't have to the same size. But, the pool size will be
constrained by the smallest disk and might not be the best
use of your disk space.
See the output below. I'd be better off mirroring the two 136-GB
disks and using the 4 GB-disk for something else. :-)

However all disks will be reduced to common size and once you

After bootup, ZFS should have near zero memory in the
ARC.
This makes sense, and I have no idea how long the server has been running
before the test. We can use the above information to help manage their
expectations; on boot-up, ARC will be low, so the de-allocation of resources
won't be an
Thanks. Like above, knowing the ARC takes time to ramp up strongly suggests
that it won't be an issue on a normally booting system. It sounds like your
needs are much greater, and that your databases are running fine.
I can take this information to the DBA's and use it to manage their
Hi Rainer,
While I would recommend upgrading to Build 54 or newer to use the
system tunable, its not that big of a deal to set the ARC on boot up.
We've done it on a T2000 for awhile, until we could take it down for
an extended period of time to upgrade it.
Definitely WOULD NOT run a database

It is also a common shorthand for swap space.

Any estimations, when we'll see a [feature] fix for U3?
Should I open a call, to perhaps rise the priority for the fix?
The bug applies to checksum as well.
