RE: Oracle Compress Option

Title: Message

 

On our appliance, to get around the irritating load-balancing+failover issue, we're using 802.3ad link aggregation.  Trying to load-balance Gigabit is really an exercise in futility - almost all of the performance improvement comes from improved interrupt queuing (and even that is already mitigated on the card through coalescing interrupts).  The real benefit is the failover - that works very very well.

 

Thanks,

Matt

we monitor it through nmon ... (aix utility). GC traffic is not load balanced across both interconnects if that is what you mean. There is no way ... first one is used and if that fails the second is used. We are NOT using cluster interconnects I saw some bug reports ... on Metalink.

Raj,

How can we know if only one Pvt Interconnect is used
at a given time? How are you monitoring them
real-time? Is the GC traffic not load balanced ?
Are you using cluster_interconnects?

Thanks,
Ravi.
