Hi!

What's the value for _log_simultaneous_copies parameter? You might want to manually increase it, even though it depends on CPU_COUNT when left default. I personally would increase log_buffer size as well, if you got that many CPUs and concurrent sessions.

Tanel.

  At a Benchmark a particular Processing + DML intensive batch Job (Accounts Interest Calculation) is experiencing

  "log buffer space" wait .

  Config :-

  On Solaris 9

  Cpu_count = 72

  Oracle 9.2

  Online Redo logfiles are on a RAID 0+1 Volume (NOT Raw or RAID 1) Log_buffer = 10 M

  $ sar Command Outpuit %wio only about 6 % for Volume containing the redo logfiles

  Database in NOARCHIVELOG mode

  Qs. How can we reduce this wait event ? Would RAW / RAID 1 for redo logfiles help ?

  Qs. Could this be a Bug ?
