| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Parameter type | Integer |
| Default value | For one CPU, there will be one GCS server process.
For 2 - 8 CPUs, there will be 2 GCS server processes. For more than 8 CPUs, the number of GCS server processes will be equal to the number of CPUs divided by 4. If the result includes a fraction, the fraction is disregarded. For example, if you had 10 CPUs, then 10/4 would mean 2 GCS processes. |
| Modifiable | No |
| Range of values | 1 to 36 |
| Basic | No |
| Real Application Clusters | Multiple instances can have different values. |
GCS_SERVER_PROCESSES specifies the number of server processes in Global Cache Service (GCS) to serve the inter-instance traffic among Real Application Clusters (RAC) instances. GCS server processes are only seen in a RAC environment.
