Implementation Steps

Use the following steps to update SGA:

1. Log in to the database node/VM (rp2vm2) as oracle user

2. Connect to sqlplus
3. Update SGA 
SQL>  alter system set sga_target=72G scope=spfile sid='*';

SQL> Exit

4. Restart the database

[oracle@rp2vm2 ~]$ srvctl stop database -d rdpp1

[oracle@rp2vm2 ~]$ srvctl start database -d rdpp1

5. Verfiy the value of the parameter sga

6. Connect to sqlplus
SQL> show parameter sga;

Follow these steps for all the eight database nodes/VMs (rp2vm2, rp2vm3 to rp2vm9)
