BUFFERS setting
I'm running OnLine 7.13 on a Sun Sparcserver 20. It has 160M of physical
memory. We have a bought-in application which is very resource hungry.
At the suggestion of Tech Support I bumped BUFFERS up to 20K
(40MBytes). However, onstat -b consistently shows only a few hundred of
the 20,000 BUFFERS modified at any one time. Am I correct in inferring
that I therefore have BUFFERS too high, and could begin to reduce it
until I notice degradation in my read/write cache percentages (currently
93 and 87 respectively)?
Thanks
