Thanks Cameron, I will get the Unix Guy to look at it.

This is most likely an OS issue. Forking threads across processors is
handled by the OS. I know of no Oracle configuration to specify processor
affinity. When I called Oracle Support on this a while back, they
confirmed that there was no way to specify this.
Does the processor sit idle at 0 percent utilization? If you are noticing
that a non-parallelized SQL statement is utilizing a single processor, then
this is normal. If you are noticing that the processor is completely idle
then you probably need to address a hardware configuration issue.
If someone knows how to specify this, please send me the details and I will
post them on my Oracle Resource site for you.
I hope this helps,

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Hi folks,
I have noticed that even at 40% machine usage, Oracle is not using the
second CPU on one of our servers.
Any idea what the best way to get it to do that.
I understood that DB_WRITER_PROCESSES > 2 was only worth it if you had more
than 2 CPUs.
