Can I get a reply to what I wrote? What I said in the post you're quoting is that until you know that you actually need more memory you need to do research, it's not exactly professional to say "Out of memory? Better install more memory, then." Because not all memory use is justified. I also explicitly said that it may come down to instaling more memory, but until you know that, you can't say that.

There could be a memory leak affecting them, there could be something misconfigured in their Oracle install, their specs for the this machine could have been way off, etc. For all we know if the OP slaps more physical memory in there it's just going to eat up that new memory and they're going to be back at square one only this time they have to explain to their boss why the fix they offered didn't actually fix the problem.

It's not four gigs, I don't know where that number came from, their free output shows 11 gigs physical and 18 gigs swap. A swap that big probably also points to a technical deficit, BTW.

vzcalc

vzcalc(8)							    Containers								 vzcalc(8)

NAME

       vzcalc - calculate resource usage of a container

SYNOPSIS

       vzcalc [-v] CTID

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  displays	the  share  of the host system resources a particular container is using. If the container is running, the current
       usage is displayed. High utilization values (>100%) mean the system is overloaded (or the container has an invalid configuration).

       Current
	      Shows the amount of the resources consumed by the container at a given time.

       Promised
	      Shows the resources soft limit values "promised" for a given container.

       Max    Shows the resources hard limit values "promised" for a given container.

       If the -v option is specified, the following additional information is also displayed:

       Low Mem
	      The part of memory residing at lower addresses and directly accessed by the kernel (only makes sense for 32-bit architectures).

       Total RAM
	      Total memory.

       Mem+Swap
	      Amount of memory available for applications (both RAM and swap space).

       Alloc Mem
	      Standard memory allocations made for applications in a container.  This is a more "virtual" system resource  than  RAM  or  RAM  and
	      swap.

       Num. Proc
	      Number of processes.

OPTIONS

       -v     Display additional information.

EXIT STATUS

       Normally, the exit status is 0. On error, the exit status is 1.
