Oracle Linux: Shell Script to Calculate Values Recommended Linux HugePages / HugeTLB Configuration (Doc ID 401749.1)
APPLIES TO:
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition
Oracle Database Cloud Schema Service - Version N/A and later
Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Machine - Version N/A and later
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Database Service - Version N/A and later
Oracle Database Cloud Exadata Service - Version N/A and later
Generic Linux
PURPOSE
This script is intended to compute values for the recommended HugePages/HugeTLB configuration for the current shared memory segments on Oracle Linux systems.
该脚本旨在为Oracle Linux系统上的当前共享内存段计算推荐的HugePages / HugeTLB配置的值。
It does calculation for all shared memory segments available when the script is run, no matter it is an Oracle RDBMS shared memory segment or not.
无论脚本是否为Oracle RDBMS共享内存段,它都会为运行脚本时可用的所有共享内存段进行计算。
For general information about HugePages / HugeTLB, please see Note 361323.1
REQUIREMENTS
- Oracle Database instance(s) are up and running Oracle数据库实例已启动并正在运行
- Oracle Database 11g Automatic Memory Management (AMM) is not setup (See Note 749851.1) 未设置AMM
- The shared memory segments can be listed by command "ipcs -m" 共享内存段可以通过命令"ipcs -m"列出
- Oracle Linux
- Package 'bc' installed 已安装软件包'bc'
CONFIGURING
- Create a text file named hugepages_settings.sh 创建一个名为hugepages_settings.sh的文本文件
- Copy the contents below in the file 复制下面的内容到文件中
- Run:
$ chmod +x hugepages_settings.sh
INSTRUCTIONS
- Be sure that all applications that are meant to use HugePage / HugeTLB are running at the time the script is to be run. This includes the Oracle RDBMS instances and ASM instances in addition to other applications. 确保在脚本运行时所有打算使用HugePage/HugeTLB的应用程序都在运行。除其他应用程序外,这还包括Oracle RDBMS实例和ASM实例。
- Be sure that you have /bin and /usr/bin in $PATH 确保$PATH中有/bin和/usr/bin
- Run:
$ ./hugepages_settings.sh

This script is provided by Doc ID 401749.1 from My Oracle Support
(http://support.oracle.com) where it is intended to compute values for
the recommended HugePages/HugeTLB configuration for the current shared
memory segments on Oracle Linux. Before proceeding with the execution please note following:
* For ASM instance, it needs to configure ASMM instead of AMM.
* The 'pga_aggregate_target' is outside the SGA and
you should accommodate this while calculating the overall size.
* In case you changes the DB SGA size,
as the new SGA will not fit in the previous HugePages configuration,
it had better disable the whole HugePages,
start the DB with new SGA size and run the script again.
And make sure that:
* Oracle Database instance(s) are up and running
* Oracle Database 11g Automatic Memory Management (AMM) is not setup
(See Doc ID 749851.1)
* The shared memory segments can be listed by command:
# ipcs -m
Press Enter to proceed..."

SAMPLE OUTPUT
For 2.4 kernel systems: 对于2.4内核系统
$ ./hugepages_settings.sh
...
Recommended setting: vm.hugetlb_pool = 764
For 2.6 and later kernel systems: 对于2.6及更高版本的内核系统
$ ./hugepages_settings.sh
...
Recommended setting: vm.nr_hugepages = 67
Please see Document 361323.1 about how to do that setting.
