I'm running a 9i database. I want to put our live database into archive mode
so that we can use RMAN so I am practicing on a copy Db (Copy in place and
running fine). I've managed to get the copy Db into archive mode but wanted
to alter the archive_log_dest_1 I do not seem to be able t get the Db to
read the pfile (I think). I want to use the pfile to direct the
archive_log_dest_1 to an empty disk (that will not be used for anything
else,. except archive logs) but everytime I start the database in mount mode
then run 'archive log list' it show the def...Pfile Question
How do I find out which pfile the instance was started with?

If you did not use option startup pfile=..... to start your database,
then Oracle looks for the pfile in the default location i.e.
For 9i, if you have created an spfile "spfile<SID>.ora", then it would
look for spfile first in the same locations according to OS.
...pfiles not detecting sockets
When using pfiles, I have noticed that it fails to detect sockets in
some instances. Instead of reporting the correct information (ie
port/address) the descriptor is detected as "S_IFCHR".
An example: rpcbind (apologies for the formatting - lines are a bit

You use P-coded files just like you'd use an M-file.

You can't. If you want to read or modify the source code of a P-file, you
need to read or modify the M-file from which it was created (and call PCODE
to update the P-file if you modified the M-file.)

&...spfile vs pfile in 9i
can anyone explain to me what the advantages of using spfiles are over
the traditional pfiles? Is it just the ability to make changes to the
database on the fly without editing files etc?
Also, why are there so many pfiles created for each database in 9i,
and what do they all do?

"Richard Stanton&q...How to determine the sessions parameter in the pfile
We just put an instance of Oracle 9.2 on W23k on line. So far, so
good. It's connected to a webserver farm which uses connection pooling
to increase or decrease the number of connections based on load.
Unfortunately, at some peak load times the maximum number of sessions is
reached and users get the "ORA-00020 : Maximum processes exceeeded" .
During those periods, the oracle server doesn't seem to be stressed (low
CPU usage, etc.) so I think the problem is just that the processes
parameter is artificially low.
So, how does one determine a good value for the processes ...do disaster recovery without pfile

...how to find if instance started by pfile or spfile

is there any way to find which parameter file started the oracle
For example, is that pfile or spfile? location of the file ?
can I find those info from dictionary views ?
your help is very appreciated.

I'm trying to interpret the meaning of part of the output of pfiles on
Sol 2.6. I have my head around most of it but there's something I
ain't sure of.
When I do a pfiles <pid> I see opened regular files, pipes, doors and
also sockets. I'm concerned about the sockets part. Taking as an
example the following 2 FDs (24 and 11) I can see that;
// FD #25 is used for an incoming socket connection. The connection
// peername host with IP address 126.96.36.199.

Looks like you ran the 32 bit pfiles and asked it to examine a 64 bit

pfiles: program is _LP64, self is not: 2599
However, that's very odd, because by default, the pfiles in your path is
