Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Combined SGA size and Total Memory
Hello,
A fellow DBA tells me that the total SGA size of all instances on the serve= r (HP, Sun) should not exceed 30% of the server's total memory. I could not find any documentation supporting this argument in Metalink? Is t= here is any such guideline? My impression was to monitor the paging/swap on the server before adding more memory rather than going by th= e rule of thumb....=20
Thanks in advance for your input.
