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

EACH

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