Hi could someone please help me to set up flash cache.,..

I have OEl 5.5 installed and patched.

I have my SSD mounted..

but when i ran the command 'alter system set db_flash_cache_file ='/media/ssd/' scope=spfile;'

.... I totally messed up my database, and It wouldn't startup giving ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters...

I have now fixed this and am back to square one ...

Could someone plzzzz help me set up the initialisation params?

What does "plzzzz" mean? I couldn't find it in my dictionary.

Michel

Did you also specify the "required" DB_FLASH_CACHE_SIZE initialization parameter?

You need to specify a filename, not a directory (at least, I do on my simulation).
But "totally messed up" is not an Oracle error message, what was in the alert log for the failed startup?

Hi - did you get any further? What was the problem? Not many people have the opportunity to work with a flash cache, I for one would be interested to know your results. What performance did you get when comparing it to disc i/o? For instance,

select name,value from v$sysstat where name in ('physical read flash cache hits','flash cache inserts','physical reads','session logical reads');
select event,total_waits_fg,time_waited_micro_fg,time_waited_micro_fg / total_waits_fg from v$system_event where event in ('db flash cache write','db flash cache single block physical read','db flash cache multiblock physical read','db file sequential read','db file scattered read');
