7.0 Oracle Parallel Server Option on VMS 5.5 ???

yes that's right!!

we are running with the above configuration. at this point any type of upgrade does not seem plausible.

situation:

   2 machines (one designated primary, the other backup)    the backup machine does essentially nothing

• it has the database instance up (with PSO) just for fast recovery of primary fail
• 8 applications are connected to this database, but they do absolutely nothing until a primary failover occurs. the primary machine does everything, runs all applications.

   to boost performance it was though to really implement the PSO by load sharing, i.e.

   running some applications on the backup.

   application was a fairly large import (70K rows, 7 8-char columns, 2 4-column indexes).

   during the time of the import, the table in question was not being accessed (neither

   queries, nor updates) by any other application on either machine.

   however, the performance on the primary machine due to the import on the backup was

   severely hindered. does anybody know why? is this tunable?    how do parallel servers communicate on VMS??
