that's because solaris counts the amount of memory per process, so if you run your oracle db there are many processes that uses the same memory area, that's called shared-memory, e.g your oracle SGA... for example, if you have 5 processes that use 2 GB as shared memory, solaris will say, that 10GB of memory are in use, based on the sum... look at your ipcs -a output

if your sun is swapping you have to less memory, you could add more DIMMs or tune your database... and if the load is around 90%, your mashine is not powerfull enough to run your applications... Smilie
