Operating Systems Solaris help with vmstat output Post 302431118 by busyboy on Monday 21st of June 2010 03:32:27 AM

looks like your ammendment has not still been effective in oracle. I'm not an oracle expert, but here are few things which may help:

You have a lot of Page-In (pi) which is showing something really eating up your real memory in terms of capture and not being released up, even though the page schedular does it at sometime to release those pages not in use since last count.

suddenly there is a number in 'b' column as well, which means that some of the processes are put in the wait list for the resources to be free'd. This looks anonymous who's taking all this much.

In actual, if you have taken in consideration with Oracle ( like increasing the shmmax and others ) then Oracle should be using that sga area. if you share something like prstat and psrinfo with details, it might help who's taking up the pretty expensive resources .

Regards,

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
