Number of cores / RMAN channel

JackRFeb 21 2016 — edited Mar 4 2016

Oracle 11gr2

OS: Linux 6

We had some performance issue during rolling forward a DB clone(applying archived logs). We used 4 channels for recovering database. I am trying to figure out if I am using correct number of channels.

1. what is the formula for number of channels?

2. how to find how many cores do I have on the physical Linux server?

Note: I am waiting for a response about the i/o throughput from the storage admin.

I ran these command but not sure which number is correct.

$ grep "physical id" /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | wc -l
2
cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep "physical id" | sort -u | wc  -l
2
$ grep "cpu cores" /proc/cpuinfo |sort -u |cut -d":" -f2
6
$ grep -c "processor" /proc/cpuinfo
24
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l
24
