CLM deployment - Single db instance or multiple
We're running 605 CLM , setup in a distributed env (basically one server per app - we're running 6) using a single Oracle instance. We have started noticing performance issues as the user load and db size is increasing.
One answer
I am not a DB expert.
The bigger customers usually run DB Clusters as far as I can tell. It is not necessarily obvious if the DB's run on one specific box, at least not to me. I have seen customers running multiple deployments on the same DB cluster.
You would basically have to check if the DB is a bottleneck or not. You should have some monitoring in place to be able to tell if the app server nodes get in trouble or if the DB seems to be the issue.
I have not seen any hints on how to balance the DB's. I think it would be very individual based on the load you see today. I am sorry that I am not able to provide more guidance.
