Best place to start is with the parameter chnages as specified in Oracle Install Guide and then slowly adapt to your application.

Hi,
I have a 10g instance running on an L1000 with 512Mb, so the default values will certainly work on your machine.

First Of all, Thank you so much for such an instant response!

I am planning to Run SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark, So the load will be high, and I am living with only 2GB RAM and 8GB swap memory.

I have hpux with hardware model: 9000/800/L2000-44.

The following are the parameters that I found can be set!please look at this once.

bufpages 0
create_fastlinks 1
dbc_max_pct 10

Re: Need help with kernel parameters to install oracle 10g

Shalom,

Critical issues:

dbc_max_pct
dbc_min_pct

Set them low, set them equal or very close numbers.

Reasoning:
1) This effects system buffer. The memory is more effecive if allocated to the SGA
2) If the system frequently changes the buffer amount with a wide min/max range it is very bad for system performance.

I use 7/5 or 5/3 on most entry level systems.

You are on the low end range of memory for effectively running Oracle.
