dual network adapters on ora 7.3
Mike Bules
Could this forum please make some suggestions on how to best utilize dual
network adapters on a server running Ora 7.3 . OS is Windows 2000 Adv.
Server.
We need more performance/bandwidth, what are our choices, dual listeners,
dual instances, split users between a static instance and live instance ??
etc.
Please help
Thank you in advance

Oracle 7.3 on Windows 2000? You're lucky it even starts... Hopefully it
is not running anything useful...
If you have a test box, I do not have docs that old and do not remember
if it would work or not, but you can try adding 2 NICS and configuring
your listener.ora to add the second listener.

1 Upgrade to something supported. Oracle 7.3 and Win2k are both
unsupported.
2 Redesign the application. In 80 percent of all performance cases the
problems are caused by the application.
All the other suggestions won't help a damn, as they end up on the
same database, and RAC is a 9i thingy.

I was thinking solely a network bandwidth issue... If your box
(cpu|I/O) is max'ed out, I agree with Sybrand and you need to upgrade to
something that is even remotely close to being supported on a box that
is supported. You would probably get a huge boost just going to newer
hardware - of course recognizing that the newer hardware may not support
W2K and/or Oracle 7.3...

trunk them in the network driver layer and the operating system and
applications won't even know.
seeing that no information has been provided regarding what they
are ... that configuration is left as an exercise to the poster.
