Use glance(preferable) or top and see memory usage. Based on free memory
you can decide about increase of your buffers. If your db_block_size is
8K, adding 1000 block means addition of 8MB in your SGA. If still not sure 
check with your Unix Admin.

Hi list,

I have a question about Unix and Oracle memory allocation. I have to say
that Unix isn't my platform, so I think for most of you this will be easy
answerd.

I have a HP Unix machine with follwing memory infos:

Memory Information:
     physical page size = 4096 bytes, logical page size = 4096 bytes
     Physical: 524288 Kbytes, lockable: 380640 Kbytes, available: 441536
Kbytes

There is a Oracle running on this box. Hit statistics show me that I have to
increase the db_block_buffers. What I like to know is, how much more memory
can I give oracle? There are about 50 User working with this instance.

TIA

Volker Sch�n
