LMX Parameter

Description

Maximum Value

lmx_minor_max 

Specifies the maximum number of contexts system-wide. Each Oracle process typically has two LMX contexts. 

"Contexts" and "minors" are used interchangeably in the documentation; "context" is an Oracle-specific term to specify the value in the lmx.conf file.

If you see the message "no minors available" on one node, add a configuration parameter that increases the value for the maximum number of contexts. (While the "minors" term appears in the error message, use the "contexts" term in the configuration file.) Increasing the number of contexts on a node has some impact on the resources of that node.
