Tunning file system performance on DL380G3

Hi,

Proliant DL380 G3 + SuSE Enterprise 8 SP3 + Oracle 9.2.0.4.

I want to give the best throughput from this hardware and also, in a case of system crash, to reduce the lost of dirty byffers. So, I was thinking in change the /proc/sys/vm/bdflush from:
50 500 0 0 500 3000 60 20 0
to:
20 5000 0 0 100 300 60 20 0

Any recommendations? Or any other settings ?

How can I enhance Linux with this hardware? Is there any docs available?

Thank you,
Eduardo

Try a more comprehensive approach:

Take the script I'm attaching. Take out the HP-9000 junk and leave the sar data. Collect your data in a file and take an approach that covers the big picture
