Name

GC_FILES_TO_LOCKS

Synopsis

Value: see description

Parallel Server parameter that controls the mapping of Parallel Cache Management (PCM) locks to datafiles. The parameter can be used to limit the number of locks used per datafile and also to specify that each lock should cover a set of contiguous blocks. If this parameter is specified, Oracle will disable the Cache Fusion processing feature of Oracle9i Real Application Clusters. Multiple instances must have identical values.

Syntax

GC_FILES_TO_LOCKS = '{file_list=lock_count[!blocks][EACH]}[:]...'

Keywords

file_list

One or more datafiles listed by their file numbers, or ranges of file numbers, with comma separators

lock_count

The number of PCM locks assigned to file_list. If lock_count is set to 0, then fine-grained locking is used for these files.

!blocks

Optionally indicates the number of contiguous blocks covered by one lock.

EACH

Optionally specifies that each datafile in file_list is assigned a separate set of lock_count PCM locks; the default is noncontiguous blocks.
