Hi All,
I had some situation of Redo Allocation and copy latch
contention as stated in following output.....
SQL> SELECT substr(NAME,1,18) NAME, GETS,MISSES, IMMEDIATE_GETS,
IMMEDIATE_MISSES
FROM V$LATCH WHERE NAME LIKE '%redo%'
/
NAME GETS MISSES IMMEDIATE_GETS IMMEDIATE_MISSES
------------------ ---------- ---------- -------------- ----------------
redo allocation 74878 16 0 0
redo copy 114 100 53756 232
redo writing 30219 1 0 0
3 rows selected.
Realizing small contention on redo allocation latch, I increased
the value of "log_small_entry_max_size" from 80 to 90.
But this would definitely overload (already suffering) redo copy
latches, so I increased the value of log_simultaneous_copies from 2 to
6.
This sorted out redo latch contention, but somewhere in FM it's
mentioned that value of log_simultaneous_copies shouldn't be more than
(2 * #_of_CPUs). Again I know that the CPU is "not" heavily used so far.
So...
1. Is it OK to set log_simultaneous_copies higher than 2*CPU. What are
the golden rules. I have seen some authers not mentioning this.
2. Why this parameter is missing from Oracle 8i?? Has Oracle changed the
algorithm?? What is the new strategy to handle redo latch contention??
Interestingly, in Oracle 8i (Oracle 8.1.6) Tuning Manuals they
still talk of these parameters(which are made obsolete)...
Appreciate your inputs ;-)
Cheers,
Rajesh
