Hi!

We are currently discussing Oracle licensing issues. Due to the number of users, named user licensing is not an option for us.

Our HP-boxes are having 10 processors each. Since the CPU's are 90% idle, we are thinking about limiting Oracle to only using 4 out of the 10 CPUs. Is this possible (i.e. via the parameter cpu_count)? The other 6 CPU's will then be used by other applications ion the box (e.g. BEA WebLogic etc.).

This is 9.2 on HP-UX 11.11.

Thanks,
Helmut
