Grid Infrastructure was installed to use Oracle ASM for DATA and LOG disk groups.
Oracle database processes run in 2 processors sets where each pset
configured with 104 HW strands from separate cpu chips.
Each process run in the FX class using /usr/bin/priocntl -s -c FX -i pid PID.
Oracle Log Writer run in a single core by executing in RT class
using /usr/bin/priocntl -s -c RT -p 1 -i PID.
The remaining cores were used for HBA and Network interrupts.

Configuration Notes:
2 application server instances were hosted in 2 separate Solaris Zones.
The 2 Zones were bound to separate processor sets where each pset
consisted of 116 HW threads using /usr/sbin/psrset -b PSET PID. Interrupts
were enabled on remaining HW strands in the default processor set.
The Solaris Zone and Processor Set configuration is in the FDA.
Each Zone on the system was configured with 2 subnets.
2x 10 Gbit PCIe NIC ports were used for driver requests.
2x 10 Gbit onboard NIC ports were for JDBC access.
Interrupts from the Network controllers were configured across the
processors in the default set using the /usr/sbin/pcitool utility.

Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate. Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA. Table and index initrans were modified. Table M_WORKORDER, O_CUSTINVENTORY, O_CUSTOMER, O_ORDERLINE and O_ORDERS were horizontally partitioned. Table M_BOM, M_INVENTORY and M_PARTS were hash clustered. System managed undo was used.
Load Program Modifications: No modifications to the load programs were made.

Benchmark Configuration Information

Isolation Requirement Info:

  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting:
  eclipselink.query-results-cache.expiry=1200000
  in the ord-orm.xml deployment descriptor.
  
  The benchmark meets the isolation level requirements by
  version column checking on entities against
  the database.

Durability Requirement Info:

  To ensure database durability, RAID 1 was used for the database
  files and database redo logs maintained on the two
  Sun Server X4-2L storage servers.
  
  The application server system was configured with 2
  mirrored SSDs for jms and server logs.

Storage Requirement Info:

  A 75 minute run at an injection rate of 10700 increased storage by 27 GB
  This extrapolates to 518 GB storage for a 24 hour run.
  The database was configured with 2.98 TB of mirrored storage.

Other Benchmark Information

  DNS round robin load balancing was used with the DNS server running
  on the database server. The DNS named process was run in
  the RT class using /usr/bin/priocntl -s -c RT -p 1 -i pid.
  All network connections were 10 Gbit.

General Notes

The only errors in the driver log files were those that are
normally generated by this benchmark.

On the database, incremental checkpointing ensured that no buffer will
remain dirty (in the cache) for more than the allowed time.
