Setting the CPU Core Count on Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S and X6–2M

Use the configure-core-count command to change the core count on the Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S or X6–2M.

You must always assign cores in multiples of two, with a minimum of two cores. If you change the CPU core count, then you can subsequently only increase the CPU core count.
  1. Log in as root to the Oracle Database Appliance servers.
  2. Run the following to configure the number of CPU cores: configure-core-count cpu_number

    For example, run the following command to set the number of cores to 8:

    # configure-core-count 8
    
  3. Restart the server to enable the additional cores.
    After the system restarts, Oracle Database Appliance is reconfigured to run with the specified CPU core count.
