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,
