Real Application Clusters
|
Multiple instances must have the same value.
|
Note:
This parameter applies to parallel execution in exclusive mode as well as in the Oracle9i Real Application Clusters environment.
|
PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS specifies the maximum number of parallel execution processes and parallel recovery processes for an instance. As demand increases, Oracle increases the number of processes from the number created at instance startup up to this value.
If you set this parameter too low, some queries may not have a parallel execution process available to them during query processing. If you set it too high, memory resource shortages may occur during peak periods, which can degrade performance.
