There’s a new whitepaper about running Oracle 10gR2 Database on a Sun T2000 Niagara Server. Summary: When running the Oracle database 10g, the Sun Fire T2000 CoolThreads server outperformed an equivalent 4-way Dell PowerEdge server equipped with the latest 64 bit Intel Xeon processors by over 3.5x, while consuming 1.6x less power and occupying 50% of the data center space. It was able to do this while achieving a 3x better price / performance ratio.

Hi Thorleif, do you have any pointers on installing / tweaking Oracle 10g on a T2000 so it performs well? We seem to be having some performance problems.
Thanks!
Paul
Hi Paul,
I thinks I’ll post them on my blog shortly.
Thorleif
could not find the whitepaper you mentioned.
Can you please advice where to find the white paper.
I am considering T2000 or Dell servers for a oracle project I have.
thx
Like Paul, our Oracle 10g instances run badly. Does anyone know of a consolidated list of tips on how best to tune Oracle to run on T2000s?
Also, link to whitepaper would be useful.
Regards
Where is the white paper?
Niagara is good for OLTP application.
It’s not good for OLAP appliation.
Thanks,
Bin
See the following for information son configuring the T2000 for Oracle DBMS:

Did this white paper help you with improving 10g on T2000?
Hi !
We are also facing performance problem.
For a single sql order, Oracle only uses 3% of the CPU, meaning that it only uses 1 core and 1 thread for this core.
Thanks

In general Solaris 10 doesn’t need the kernel params that Oracle use to require you to put in older Sun models. When we put them in — we had performance issues. When we took them out — it ran well. How many databases are you running?
