Setting the CPU Core Count on Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA

Learn how to set the CPU core count on Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA bare metal deployments.

Complete the following procedure to set the CPU core count:

1. Log in as root to one of the Oracle Database Appliance servers.
2. Run the oakcli update-cpucore -cores command to update the number of cores per server:

   For example, use the following command to enable 16 cores:

   /opt/oracle/oak/bin/opt/oracle/oak/bin/ update-cpucore -cores 16

   Both servers run with the specified CPU core count. You must always assign cores on Oracle Database Appliance bare-metal deployments in multiples of two, with a minimum of two cores.
3. Run the oakcli describe-cpucore to view the cores that are enabled.

   # oakcli describe-cpucore
