Oracle: Init parameters PARALLEL_MIN_SERVERS and PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS

The value of parallel_min_servers specifies the number of processes that are pre-allocated for parallel execution at instance startup. They remain until the instance is shut down.
The value of parallel_max_servers specifies the maximum number of proceses that can be used for parallel execution.
As per MOS Note 1503339.1, the value of parallel_servers_target should be 50-75 of parallel_max_servers.

Compare configured values with actual number of processed used for parallel processing:
select count(*)         from v$px_process union all
select count(*)         from v$pq_slave   union all
select to_number(value) from v$parameter where name = 'parallel_min_servers' union all
select to_number(value) from v$parameter where name = 'parallel_max_servers';
