Can I use the Solaris 10 FSS (Fair Share Scheduler) with Oracle in a Solaris Container?
There are currently (June 2006) two distinct concerns regarding the use of FSS in a Container when running Oracle databases: • In testing – Oracle processes use internal methods to prioritize themselves to improve inefficiency. It is possible that these methods might not work well in conjunction with the Solaris FSS. Although there are no known problems with non-RAC configurations, Sun and Oracle are testing this type of configuration to discover any negative interactions. This testing should be completed soon. 2. It is not possible to use the Solaris FSS with Oracle RAC in a Container. A Solaris patch is being tested that fixes this problem.
