Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 Server as Oracle db server?

Hi,
we're considering to replace our Sun Fire V490 Servers with newer generation of Oracle SUN Servers.
It's mentioned that next-generation product for V490 Servers is Sun SPARC M4000.
Do you have any experience with M4000 as Oracle db servers?
Our systems are mostly OLTP based with batch processing overnight.
Database with about 150 concurrent users max.
What would be our best price/performance option?
Thanks!

Hi ajmaidak,
our SunFire v490 configurations are:
2x SunFire v490 , 4GB RAM , 2 (1x dual-port HBA) x 2Gb FC
2x SunFire v490 , 8GB RAM , 2 (1x dual-port HBA) x 2Gb FC
What do you think about consolidation of those four v490 servers on two Intel 7500 based X4470 servers?
Intel 7500 X4470 is strong enough to handle workload of two SunFire v490 servers?
Same question related to Sparc VII+ M4000 server - can this server handle workload of two SunFire v490's?
Thanks for answer.

but without bus speed specification.
Thanks a lot.

Hi.
It's problem found same bus on T5140 becouse this server have different architecture.
See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/systems-hardware-architecture/sun-t5120-t5220-t5140-t5240-163910.pdf
Memory controller, PCI-E controller,10 Gb/s Ethernet - integrated at CPU and connected via crosbar.
The crossbar provides approximately 300 GB/sec of bandwidth

LSI 1068E SAS/SATA controller Bug + Sun Sparc Enterprise T5440

Something that's very new & very unique
I have never seen before I hope that someone have seen it before & can help me
I have a hardware mirror between two internal disks within the Server
as soon as the power is cut off suddenly the volume becomes inactive in the next time boot up
so u need to go through the OK prompt selecting the Scsi bath for the disks activating the Volume again manually
which is not a practical solution & doesn't satisfy the customer
note that the server isn't in the warranty or maintenance contract so I can't open a case for the problem
so if there is any one who might have any clue for this
I would be so grateful for him
Thnx & regards

Hi,
I've not seen such problem in past and not sure what is the ILOM f/w version you are using, but it would be good idea to have the latest f/w applied if you are running low.

SAP Performance Problem with Oracle 10 on Sun SPARC T5240 server

Dear Friends,
We have a performance problem after migrating our SAP ERP 6.0 basis system. We moved to new servers a month ago.
According to SAP EarlyWatchAlert Report, CPU response time is too high, altough CPU utilization is never more than 5%,
The current system is :
Database server : Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 Server - 2 CPU´s with 6 core, 8 thread, 1.2 Ghz 32 GB RAM
and we use another identical configured server as an application server.
Database is Oracle 10.2.0 and operating system is Solaris 10.
The problem is average CPU response time is 450 ms, and max. CPU load is %5 percent.
Pre-migration configuration with old servers, we had CPU response : 150 ms and max CPU load: 50%.
Old configuration : 2 X HP rp3440, 2 X PA 8800 CPU (2 core, 1.0 GHz).
Have you got any experience with a similar situation, which setting might be wrong for not fully utilizing server CPU´s?
or do you know any similar configuration for benchmark?
Thanks in advance
Uzan

Our organization upgraded an application - The vendor had originally suggested a T2000. When we finally migrated onto it, the performance was worse than the older version of the application. The vendor hadn't yet tested the combination of T2000 and 10.2 with their application when they had made that hardware recommendation, they subsequently revised their recommendations. We ended up with an M4000.
The application performance, IMHO, still stinks. But that's because it's a java based application written for database independence.
The interesting item to note here, is that in the application teams 'selective' testing - everything worked fine. When the testing was extended to include users who didn't follow the 'test plan', they found performance begin to tank. Then with more users, more testing, they found that the T2000 was not going to perform well. The test plan by the apps team was not sufficient to find the issues, and they did not include any load testing!

Installation of Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc M4000

Hi
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on SUN SPARC M4000.
Here is the error I have:
+Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]: /platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix+
+Enter default directory for modules [platform/sun4v/kernel /kernel /usr/kernel]:+
krtld: load_exec: fail to expand cpu/$CPU
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program
Program terminated
It seems that version of Solaris I trying to install is not support by the Hardware, when I use another Solaris 10 DVD, it works...
But the problem is that I need to install this Solaris version because others softwares are depending on that.
If someone knows how to make this installation possible, it will be very helpfull.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers

You either have a mechanically or electronically failed disk drive or else your Operating System (I an presuming it is Solaris on that SPARC system) is completely mucked up.
If it is the OS at issue, you will need to install everything fresh.
If it is the 18GB disk drive, you will need to replace it and install everything fresh.
Either way, at some point you will have to go get your OS installation media and install everything fresh. The solution is not that difficult to understand.

How to configure Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1

hi all,
How to configure Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 to my IDE..( jstudio)
I have installed jes for my windows system.. so that i have removed platform version of Application Server..
I try to add the Enterprise application Server (Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1) to JStudio IDE..
but i couldn't;

Configuring your IDE to integrate with Sun App Server is something you probably will have to ask in some sort of JStudio forum. Other than for Netbeans, Eclipse, or possibly IntelliJ IDEA, you might not have much luck answering an IDE question here. I could be wrong though. Maybe somebody will have an answer for you and set me straight.
