Hi All, can it be said as a generalization that one can allocate/fix 1/4 of physical ram for cache mem objects. Will it holds true even when you are running multiple instances??? please guide that how memory handling will be occuring in multiple instances setup???cache_mem will influencing per instance and not the program as whole. right? MysetuP: I am running multiple instances. I have 8 GB Physical memory installed. OS is installed on RAID1 which has a 10GB cache for instance1.This will only come into play if my Cache Disk fails. For actual caching 71 GB HD 15K SAS --> 50 GB has been defined for Cache directory is controlled by instance second... Thanking you regards, Bilal _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
