That's strange but interesting.

The system I showed in the other post is a 10gR2 with ASM.

On another one (but this time a normal x86) I have hugepages with RAC.

I'd like to know the difference which caused your problem to be able to avoid it in future.

Personally I like the use of hugepages and the decreased overhead of the memory.

Fabrizio

Database on 10.2 cluster just DID NOT WORKED AT ALL, until I turned
hugepages off/

It all worked without the cluster -:). Or ASM did not worked... let me see -
yes, I added _turn off hugetbl_ scrit BEFORE creating database (so I was not
able to create ASM or database - dbca did not worked properly - do not
remember exact behavior).

Do not ask me why (may be, it was because I configured 2.5 GB SGA size) - I
did not investigated but just turned it all off (do not see any advantage on
small servers like this one - 2 CPU, 4 GB RAM... ).

Just fo asking Alexei,
Which problem did you find?
I haven't seen any with 10gR2 so far.

Can you even describe the inconsistences?

Thanks
Fabrizio
