Memory utilization on hp-ux

I'm on hp-ux 11.23 Itanium using dbconsole 10.2.0.4. My machine is underutilized most of the time. Periodically, I get memory utilization alerts that I'm using more than 99% of memory. The memory utilization chart shows it burbling around 97-98%, sometimes peaking downwards to 95%. swapinfo tells me I'm using 24% or thereabouts. The help for memory utilization is less than helpful as to how the metric is actually calculated. I can't help thinking it's just plain wrong. Anyone have any idea how to reconcile this? Anyone know how it is calculated?
From memory utilization screen:
Last Known Value 99.56
Average Value 98.96
High Value 99.66
Low Value 95.18
Warning Threshold 95
Critical Threshold 98
Threshold Occurrences 6
Looks like the defaults in the help screen (warning threshold 99, tested every 24 hours) are wrong.

OK, I discovered the Paging Activity screen under All Metrics. There were lots of numbers, so I picked the largest one and clicked on it (Pages Scanned by Page Stealing Daemon (per second)). It showed this nice little graph, bounced around all over the place during the day and flatlined during the night, and the help page said it used pstat_getvminfo(), so I poked around on the net about that. Then when I went back to the Paging activity page, all but two of the numbers (Page-in Requests (per second) and Pages Paged-in (per second)) were zero. WTF?

Subj: Re: memory utilization
As a general rule, I would agree that memory utilzation problems tend to be
developer-induced. I believe that is generally true for most development
environments. However, this developer was having a little trouble finding
out how NOT to induce them. After scouring the documentation for any
references to object destructors, or clearing memory, or garbage collection,
or freeing objects, or anything else we could think of, all we found was how
to clear the rows from an Array object. We did find some reference to
setting the object to NIL, but no indication that this was necessary for the
memory to be freed.
I believe the documentation, and probably some Tech-Notes, address the issue of
freeing memory.
Automatic memory management frees a memory object when no references to the
memory
object exist. Since references are the reason that a memory object lives,
removing
the references is the only way that memory objects can be freed. This is why the
manuals and Tech-Notes talk about setting references to NIL (I.E. freeing memory
in an automatic system is done by NILing references and not by calling freeing
routines.) This is not an absolute requirement (as you have probably noticed
that
most things are freed even without setting references to NIL) but it accelerates
the freeing of 'dead' objects and reduces the memory utilization because it
tends
to carry around less 'dead' objects.
It is my understanding that in this environment, the development tool
(Forte') claims to handle memory utilization and garbage collection for you.
If that is the case, then it is my opinion that it shoud be nearly
impossible for the developer to create memory-leakage problems without going
outside the tool and allocating the memory directly. If that is not the
case, then we should have destructor methods available to us so that we can
handle them correctly. I know when I am finished with an object, and I
would have no problem calling a "destroy" or "cleanup" method. In fact, I
would prefer that to just wondering if Forte' will take care of it for me.
It is actually quite easy to create memory leaks. Here are some examples:
Have a heap attribute in a service object. Keep inserting things into
the heap and never take them out (I.E. forgot to take them out). Since
service objects are always live, everything in the heap is also live.
Have an exception handler that catches exceptions and doesn't do
anything
with the error manager stack (I.E. it doesn't call task.ErrMgr.Clear).
If the handler is activated repeatedly in the same task, the stack of
exceptions will grow until you run out of memory or the task terminates
(task termination empties the error manager stack.)
It seems to me that this is a weakness in the tool that should be addressed.
Does anyone else have any opinions on this subject?
Actually, the implementation of the advanced features supported by the Forte
product
results in some complications in areas that can be hard to explain. Memory
management
happens to be one of the areas most effected. A precise explanation to a
non-deterministic process is not possible, but the following attempts to
explain the
source of the non-determinism.
o The ability to call from compiled C++ to interpreted TOOL and back
to compiled C++.
This single ability causes most of the strange effects mentioned in
this thread.
For C++ code the location of all variables local to a method is not
know
(I.E. C++ compilers can't tell you at run-time what is a variable
and what
isn't.) We use the pessimistic assumption that anything that looks
like a
reference to a memory object is a reference to a memory object. For
interpreted
TOOL code the interpreter has exact knowledge of what is a reference
and what
isn't. But the TOOL interpreter is itself a C++ method. This means
that any
any memory objects referenced by the interpreter during the
execution of TOOL
code could be stored in local variables in the interpreter. The TOOL
interpreter
runs until the TOOL code returns or the TOOL code calls into C++.
This means
that many levels of nested TOOL code can be the source of values
assigned to
local variables in the TOOL interpreter.
This is the complicated reason that answers the question: Why doesn't a
variable that is created and only used in a TOOL method that has
returned
get freed? It is likely that the variable is referenced by local
variables
in the TOOL interpreter method. This is also why setting the
variable to NIL
before returning doesn't seem to help. If the variable in question is a
Array than invoke Clear() on the Array seems to help, because even
though the
Array is still live the objects referenced by the Array have less
references.
The other common occurrence of this effect is in a TextData that
contains a
large string. In this case, invoking SetAllocatedSize(0) can be used
to NIL
the reference to the memory object that actually holds the sequence of
characters. Compositions of Arrays and TextData's (I.E. a Array of
TextData's
that all have large TextDatas.) can lead to even more problems.
When the TOOL code is turned into a compiled partition this effect
is not
noticed because the TOOL interpreter doesn't come into play and
things execute
the way most people expect. This is one area that we try to improve
upon, but it is complicated by the 15 different platforms, and thus
C++ compilers,
that we support. Changes that work on some machines behave
differently on other
machines. At this point in time, it occasionally still requires that
a TOOL
programmer actively address problems. Obviously we try to reduce
this need over
time.
o Automatic memory management for C++ with support for multi-processor
threads.
Supporting automatic memory management for C++ is something that is
not a very
common feature. It requires a coding standard that defines what is
acceptable and
what isn't. Additionally, supporting multi-processor threads adds
its own set of
complications. Luckily TOOL users are insulated from this because
the TOOL to C++
code generator knows the coding standard. In the end you are
impacted by the C++
compiler and possibly the differences that occur between different
compilers and/or
different processors (I.E. Intel X86 versus Alpha.) We have seen
applications that
had memory utilization differences of up to 2:1.
There are two primary sources of differences.
The first source is how compilers deal with dead assignments. The
typical TOOL
fragment that is being memory manager friendly might perform the
following:
temp : SomeObject = new;
... // Use someObject
temp = NIL;
return;
When this is translated to C++ it looks very similar in that temp
will be assigned the
value NULL. Most compilers are smart enough to notice that 'temp' is
never used again
because the method is going to return immediately. So they skip
setting 'temp' to NULL.
In this case it should be harmless that the statement was ignored
(see next example for a different variation.) In more
complicated examples that involve loops (especially long
lived event loops) a missed NIL assignment can lead to leaking the
memory object whose
reference didn't get set to NIL (incidentally this is the type of
problem that causes
the TOOL interpreter to leak references.)
The second source is a complicated interaction caused by history of
method invocations.
Consider the following:
Method A() invokes method B() which invokes method C().
Method C() allocates a temporary TextData, invokes
SetAllocatedSize(1000000)
does some more work and then returns.
Method B() returns.
Method A() now invokes method D().
Method D() allocates something that cause the memory manager to look
for memory objects to free.
Now, even though we have returned out of method C() we have starting
invoking
methods. This causes us to use re-use portions of the C++ stack used to
maintain the history of method invocation and space for local variables.
There is some probability that the reference to the 'temporary' TextData
will now be visible to the memory manager because it was not overwritten
by the invocation of D() or anything invoked by method D().
This example answers questions of the form: Why does setting a local
variable to
NIL and returning and then invoking task.Part.Os.RecoverMemory not
cause the
object referenced by the local variable to be freed?
In most cases these effects cause memory utilization to be slightly
higher
than expected (in well behaved cases it's less than 5%.) This is a small
price to pay for the advantages of automatic memory management.
An object-oriented programming style supported by automatic memory
management makes it
easy to extended existing objects or sets of objects by composition.
For example:
Method A() calls method B() to get the next record from the
database. Method B()
is used because we always get records, objects, of a certain
type from
method B() so that we can reuse code.
Method A() enters each row into a hash table so that it can
implement a cache
of the last N records seen.
Method A() returns the record to its caller.
With manual memory management there would have to be some interface
that allows
Method A() and/or the caller of A() to free the record. This
requires
that the programmer have a lot more knowledge about the
various projects
and classes that make up the application. If freeing doesn'
happen you
have a memory leak, if you free something while its still
being used the
results are unpredictable and most often fatal.
With automatic memory management, method A() can 'free' its
reference by removing
the reference from the hash table. The caller can 'free' its
reference by
either setting the reference to NIL or getting another
record and referring
to the new record instead of the old record.
Unfortunately, this convenience and power doesn't come for free. Consider
the following,
which comes from the Forte' run-time system:
A Window-class object is a very complex beast. It is composed of two
primary parts:
the UserWindow object which contains the variables declared by the
user, and the
Window object which contains the object representation of the window
created in
the window workshop. The UserWindow and the Window reference each
other. The Window
references the Menu and each Widget placed on the Window directly. A
compound Window
object, like a Panel, can also have objects place in itself. These
are typically
called the children. Each of the children also has to know the
identity of it's
Mom so they refer to there parent object. It should be reasonably
obvious that
starting from any object that make up the window any other object
can be found.
This means that if the memory manager finds a reference to any
object in the Window
it can also find all other objects in the window. Now if a reference
to any object
in the Window can be found on the program stack, all objects in the
window can
also be found. Since there are so many objects and the work involved
in displaying
a window can be very complicated (I.E. the automatic geometry
management that
layouts the window when it is first opened or resized.) there are
potentially many
different reference that would cause the same problem. This leads to
a higher than
normal probability that a reference exists that can cause the whole
set of Window
objects to not be freed.
We solved this problem in the following fashion:
Added a new Method called RecycleMemory() on UserWindow.
Documented that when a window is not going to be used again
that it is
preferably that RecycleMemory() is invoked instead
of Close().
The RecycleMemory() method basically sets all references
from parent to
child to NIL and sets all references from child to
parent to NIL.
Thus all objects are isolated from other objects
that make up
the window.
Changed a few methods on UserWindow, like Open(), to check
if the caller
is trying to open a recycled window and throw an
exception.
This was feasible because the code to traverse the parent/child
relationship
ready existed and was being used at close time to perform other
bookkeeping
operations on each of the Widgets.
To summarize:
Automatic memory management is less error prone and more productive but
doesn't come totally for free.
There are things that the programmer can do that assists the memory
manager:
o Set object reference to NIL when known to be correct (this
is the
way the memory is deallocated in an automatic system.)
o Use methods like Clear() on Array and SetAllocatedSize()
on TextData to
that allow these objects to set their internal
references to NIL
when known to be correct.
o Use the RecycleMemory() method on windows, especially very
complicated
windows.
o Build similar type of methods into your own objects when
needed.
o If you build highly connected structures that are very
large in the
number of object involved think that how it might be
broken
apart gracefully (it defeats some of the purpose of
automatic
management to go to great lengths to deal with the
problem.)
o Since program stacks are the source of the 'noise'
references, try
and do things with less tasks (this was one of the
reasons that
we implemented event handlers so that a single task
can control
many different windows.)
Even after doing all this its easy to still have a problem.
Internally we have
access to special tools that can help point at the problem so that
it can be
solved. We are attempting to give users UNSUPPORTED access to these
tools for
Release 3. This should allow users to more easily diagnose problems.
It also
tends to enlighten one about how things are structured and/or point out
inconsistencies that are the source of known/unknown bugs.

How to measure JSP Memory Utilization

I'm trying to build a tool that will tell me how much resources a JSP is consuming. Am using 1.4.2_14. I'm using a static heap size (1GB) and -Xgc:singlepar. I've created a filter that does a Runtime.totalMemory () - Runtime.freeMemory () before and after a chain to the JSP. To test this I built a simple JSP that I call from a shell script with curl:
<%
int alloc = 131065;
if (null != request.getParameter("alloc"))
alloc = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("alloc"));
Object[] o = new Object[alloc];
for (int i = 0; i < o.length; i++)
o[i] = new Object ();
if (null != request.getParameter("clean"))
for (int i = 0; i < o.length; i++)
o[i] = null;
o = null;
out.println("Done with " + o.length);
%>
When running this JSP repeatedly starting with a allocation of 131,064 objects I get a heap growth of 0 until I increment to 131,067. Then I seem to get good information but every so often I'll see a 18MB bump in memory. The size I get for heap growth at 131,067 is 512,288 bytes.
Why can't I see any memory utilization below 512KB?
What is this 18MB bump in memory?
Is there a way for me to get a more accurate measurment?
Thanks,
Hari

It's possible that the totalMemory() and freeMemory() calls are not 100% exact all the time; I don't remember exactly how that info is gathered.
There is a way to get very exact memory consumption with JR. Mail me for details.

Index rebuild = Drop and recreate, this complete recreated index will be in the memory till completion of the full operation.
The lazy writer process periodically checks the available free space in the buffer cache between two checkpoints. If a dirty data page (a page read and/or modified) in the buffer hasn’t been used for a while, the lazy writer flushes it to disk and then marks
as free in the buffer cache
If SQL Server needs more memory and the buffer cache size is below the value set as the Maximum server memory parameter for the SQL Server instance, the lazy writer will take more memory
If SQL Server is under memory pressure, the lazy writer will be busy trying to free enough internal memory pages and will be flushing the pages extensively. The intensive lazy writer activity affects other resources by causing additional physical disk I/O activity
and using more CPU resources
To provide enough free space in the buffer, pages are moved from the buffer to disk. These pages are usually moved at a check point, which can be:
automatic (occurs automatically to meet the recovery interval request)
indirect (occurs automatically to meet the database target recovery time)
manual (occurs when the CHECKPOINT command is executed)
internal (occurs along with some server-level operations, such as backup creation)
At a checkpoint, all dirty pages are flushed to disk and the page in the buffer cache is marked for overwriting
“For performance reasons, the Database Engine performs modifications to database pages in memory—in the buffer cache—and does not write these pages to disk after every change. Rather, the Database Engine periodically issues a checkpoint on each database. A
checkpoint writes the current in-memory modified pages (known as dirty pages) and transaction log information from memory to disk and, also, records information about the transaction log.”

High memory utilization after few days - ciscoworks LMS 4.0.1

Hello,
I have the problem that our ciscoworks server gets out of memory after few days. The memory utilization is always getting higher an higher (above 95%). Sometimes it is only after 3 days and sometimes it is after 1 week. So it happens not regulary. Has anyone an idea what could be the problem? I have made an screenshot from the services which use a lot of memory. And at this time the memory utilization is getting higher and higher again....I think there is a problem with tomcat or dbsrv10.exe, there are also a lot of cwjava.exe running.
Kindly regards
David Mayer

Hello,
I have the same problem. First time I've tried to upgrade memory from 8gb to 16gb but I am still experiencing same issues (Memory is running on 98%). I'm not sure exactly what process it is causing this issue, because when I've checked all proccesses from all users running on this server and count them there is no 15 gb at all. My guess is the same for tomcat server which is responsible for RME collector, or correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you have any idea what can cause this problem.
I've tried to upgrade then to Cisco works Prime lan management 4.1, but server went with same issues.
Thanks a lot

CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 High Memory Utilization on Windows 2K8 R2

Hi,
What causes LMS 4.1 to have high memory utilization?

I made a little batch
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-21031
It show what process in LMS is eating you RAM / Hogging the CPU.
I don't think resources are used very effectivly in LMS
I did have the impression that some virtual machines running LMS 3.2 actually performed better than real machines, as if the VMware saw it load all these java virtual machines and that it was 45 times the same thing only being used for a few % and therefore could be swapped to disk, leaving the resources to what was actually working in LMS.
What worries me more than the resources used is the gui per.formance.

Memory utilization presented in Application Server Control

Hi
I have Oracle Application Server 10g R3 Patch Set 5 application server, which work in cluster. On mian page in Oracle Application Server Control I have memory column, where I can see information about memory utilization. I wonder about this information. For example, I have heap size set for 2 GB and application uses 300MB, but I have on main page Application Server Control 900 MB memory utilization for OC4J container. Why is so difference between use heap space memory (only 300 MB), and this information 900 MB? But sometimes, memory in Server Control rises to 2 GB, but application uses 300 MB heap space still. Why does occur this situation (much difference between uses heap space and memory presented on Server Control)?
Thanks awfully for help.

Memory is allocated
- by the operating system itself
- by the database (SGA_TARGET)
- by the application server buffers (ST02 et al)
- by the operating system as filesystem cache (if you e. g. use VxFS you may configure the memory consumption)
To see where the memory is being used, use OS tools like 'glance' or 'top'.

ASA High Memory utilization and random lockouts

We have 2 ASA 5520's running Active/Standby with the cable based failover. At random times perhaps once our twice a week we will get calls that RA VPN users cannot connect, RA users connect with the Cisco VPN client. Also most often during this time we cannot telnet into the "primary" ASA, but we can "usually" access it via the ASDM where we will see that the memory utilization is in the upper 90% range and perhaps as high as 98% consistently. To help temporarily solve the issue we have to telnet to the "secondary" ASA which we can usually access via telnet and perform a "failover active" which will failover the primary and make the secondary become the active and vice versus. Has anyone seen this issue. I have opened up several TAC cases and have not had much help. Thanks in advance!

Hi Brandon,
it is important to know what version are running your ASAs [ie 7.0(4)] and to collect some log, you can set it to error level (logging buffered errors), with the logging standby, so all of the message should be replicated on the standby unit.
even the show crashinfo could give you useful info.

Sawserver memory utilization in OBIEE 10g

We recently merged two of our OBI production environments into a single production environment and as expected we could see significant increase in the memory utilization of the sawserver.
The Virtual Bytes of Sawserver hits around 2.7GB and the working set hits around 2.55 GB. As 3GB is the maximum limit for the sawserver utilization we are worried if this could lead to a crash though we did not have a crash yet
The OBIEE version is 10.1.3.4.1 and it is running on Windows 2k3 Enterprise Edition SP2 and 16 GB RAM.
I would need to know if there is any possibility to decrease the sawserver memory utilization just to avoid any crashes.

We have currently 3550 MB sga allocated...
using the above query, we can say that if SGA size is 7104 MB, we will be getting more peformance as per my current load.
Please suggest...

Historical CPU/Memory utilization data and xm top interpretation

Hi All,
Can we get historical CPU/Memory utilization data on domU server. xm top command give real-time data.
secondly, how to interpret xm top command output.
xentop - 02:28:25 Xen 3.0-unstable
3 domains: 3 running, 0 blocked, 0 paused, 0 crashed, 0 dying, 0 shutdown
Mem: 16772032k total, 13863520k used, 2908512k free CPUs: 4 @ 2327MHz
NAME STATE CPU(sec) CPU(%) MEM(k) MEM(%) MAXMEM(k) MAXMEM(%) VCPUS NETS NETTX(k) NETRX(k) VBDS VBD_OO VBD_RD VBD_WR SSID
domain1 -----r 18153551 98.7 6299520 37.6 6307840 37.6 2 2 14008639723 134647867139 2 0 7405453 7224743 0
domain2 -----r 13574751 31.2 6299520 37.6 6307840 37.6 2 2 815959711 780254006 2 0 2732 2658 0
Domain-0 -----r 3807938 9.6 819200 4.9 no limit n/a 4 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Does it implies that there are 2 virtual CPUs configured for guest(domain1), which at this moment 98.7% utilized. Doesn't it shows there is capacity problem?
In virtualization, are virtual CPUs dedicated to guests, or CPU cycles are available on demand. If this is the case, then one guest high utilization can slow down other guests as well.
Thanks,
