2G? I am running 816 on a RH 6.2 box, kernel 2.2.14-16.11smp on a Quad Xeon box with 8G of RAM, and we have Oracle successfully utilizing 4G on memory. I want to utilizing all 8G of this memory however. Looking at the documentation on the large meory support in kernel 2.4, it explains how the kernel can address as much as 64G memory on the intel architecture. Sorry about this box being RH but my every intention is to move this box to SuSE. I just took a position at this company and everything is RH 6.2 right now, soon to change however. I have already slapped SuSE 7 on 3 hard hit VA-Linux boxes serving primarily mod_perl traffic from front end servers and have seen better memory usage. (still have not pinpointed why) Thanks, CC -----Original Message----- From: Eric Whiting [mailto:ewhiting@amis.com] Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2001 9:30 AM To: Chuck Carson Cc: 'suse-linux-e@suse.com'; suse-oracle@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Larger than 4G mem support The 8.1.6 Oracle for linux (intel) I have used is a 32 bit app so a single instance couldn't use more than a 2G SGA anyway -- but I guess you could run multiple instances on a 4+G box. 2.4 stress? no personal experience -- I ran 2.4 pre9 for a long time without trouble -- but not on a database box. eric Chuck Carson wrote:
Can you get larger than 4G memory support prior to the 2.4 kernel? I just built the 2.4 kernel and it seems to be working smoothly, but I need to upgrade a core Oracle database to this kernel and am a little uneasy with the kernel being so new. Has anyone done any stress testing against the
2.4
kernel out there yet?
Thanks greatly, CC
