Swap space using by oracle

Can anyone tell me how to check how much of swap space using by oracle on solaris 5.10. Oracle version is 10.2.0.4

free -m
above will report how swap is being used, but not broken down by process/user
I don't know how to obtain swap space by individual user.

  • Swap Space Query for Oracle 11.1.0.6 installation - why so much?

    In process of installing 11.1.0.6 DB on RHE Ver 4 with 8GB of RAM. The installation notes state that for platforms of between 2-8GB of RAM - the swap file should be set to the same as the RAM. Is it not the case that the more RAM you have, the less swap space that should be needed since Oracle has more memory to work with. With the 11.1.0.6 installation for platforms of between 2 and 8GB, it appears that the bigger the RAM there is available the more swap space is required - Why is this the case?
    What are the implications of using say a 2GB swap file with the 8GB or RAM I have available?
    Thanks

    I was confident that the docs were correct - I guess I was looking to understand why the more RAM you had available up to 8GB, the more swap space that was required - basically to understand the underlying logic of this setup?

    Sorry this took so long. Here is part of the alert log. I am sorry it is so long. This sequence is repeated over and over again. I am only guessing, but does the fourth to last line suggest that one of the redo files is corrupted, again, because the machine ran out of space?

  • GWTDOMAIN using lots of swaps space in WLE 4.2!!!

    We are having problem in one our of non- production environments where the GWTDOMAIN is using lots of swap space and not releasing them. It got so bad that the swap space used was 100% and we had to "kill -9" this GWTDOMAIN and bounce it again to to release this space. Is this a known bug and if not what can I do to resolve this problem
    or do we need to open a trouble ticket with BEA to fix.
    Thank for your help.

    Hello,
    Thanks for your reply.
    But I am not clear about your findings as we have around 64GB physical RAM in my machine.
    My question is that if we mount 20GB swap partition, then how we can see this is around less than 2 GB in df -h command.
    And even in swap -s command, this is showing same problem.
    What might be reason behind this????
    //PalashWell no-one else has anwered ... so its back to me.....
    Hmmm ... i would use the word observations rather than findings .... I am not on an old root explotation expedition all over our server .. merely observing on the morsels you show me ....
    Please be aware I may not be totally technically correct or be using right terminology on what follows so I welcome corrections ....
    Your machine has 64GB Memory, and a 20 GB swap file, therefore has the ability up to support 84GB total (Virtual) Memory ofr it's processes/buffers.
    The reason little swap is free (let us say 2GB ... thoug it may be 600m) is theat processes/buffers have a virutal memory requirement of 84GB-2GB = 82Gb.
    ... So rather than wondering about how come 2GB is left, start thinking about ow 82GB is being used.
    ...... Particularly with databases oracle RDBMS; mysql etc a big influencing factor can be how much memory is allocated its memory structures.
    .......... And a DBA may set these extremely high (memory_max / innodb-buffer-pool-size etc etc).
    ps -ef will show the (virtual) 'size' for individual processes
    prstat -a may help show what is going on (but may double account some things):
    ipcs -a would show the allocation for the oracle RDBMS memory_area,
    echo ::memstat | mdb -k ### may help ... but i have seen accounts of it taking ages to run.
    I'd also check kstat zfs ... but your not using zfs so no need to bother.
    .... You may need to show some evidence of how your applications are consuming virutal memory for someone to help you futher ... but if you do htis who may answer your own quesiton.

  • Problem on Creating a Swapfile for adding swap space

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5.6. At this time, the Linux swap space is 0 KB by using the command:
    [root@rac1 /]# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
    I need 150MB swap space to install Oracle Database. I create the swap space using the following commands:
    Step 1:
    [root@rac1 /]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count15360 hit enter
    Output: 153600 to records in
    153600 to records out
    157286400 bytes(157MB) copied, 3.3835 seconds, 46.5MB/s.
    Step 2:
    [root@rac1 /]# mkswap /swapfile hit enter
    Output: Command not found.
    Step 3:
    [root@rac1 /]# swapon /swapfile hit enter
    Output: Command not found.
    Step 4:
    [root@rac1 etc]#vi fstab
    Add this line into the file: /swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
    Save and close the file fstab.
    Step 5:
    Reboot Oracle Linux 5.6 and run this command:
    [root@rac1 /]# grep SwapTotal /pro/meminfo
    Output: SwapTotal: 0 KB
    As you see above, swap space is not added. I think the problem is that the commands "mkswap /swapfile" and "swapon /swapfile" are not executed.
    My question is : Do any folk understand how to add the swap space successfully ?

    When you execute a program, the command shell will walk through the locations specified by $PATH environment variable in order to find it. The "./" path is the current working directory and should not be in the $PATH environment to make sure applications are run only from locations defined by $PATH and not the current working directory. You can bypass this behavior iif you specify the full absolute path to the program at the command prompt, e.g. cd /sbin, ./mkswap or /sbin/mkswap. Other programs and administration tasks will use Linux utilities located in /sbin without specifying the full path and will not work if /sbin is not part of your PATH environment.
    You may have seriously screwed up your system because your root account contains /home/ora11g/bin, which is normally defined by .bash_profile located in the user account's home directory. Before analyzing your login scripts, I suggest you post the output of the following command:
    cat /etc/passwd

  • How to find Oracle is using swap space or not?

    Hi,
    I have a SuSe Linux database server on which 2 Oracle 10g databases and one MySQL server is running.
    I can see a very little swap space is being used in the server while there is almost 100% RAM utlization.
    I want to know if my Oracle databases are using swap or not. If it is using, how much of swap being used currently by each Oracle database?
    Can someone please guide me on how to do that?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I refered the metalink document id: [ID 761960.1]
    Database Instance Using Swap Space When There is Plenty of Free RAM metalink note [ID 761960.1]
    and tried the disabling the sga_max_size and memory_max_target and memory target with all different combination but no use.
    We have one more box where same setup was configured in solaris platform but there the above memory parameters are not disabled but it is not using swap space it takes memry only from physical RAM
    Can any one throw some lights on this issue. It wopuld be great if I come to know where the exact problem
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I didn't say I am not using 11gr2 memory parameters I am using all the automatic memory parameters but the thinks is as per the metalink note I tried by disabling the automatic memory parameters. but that didn't help me in preventing unnecessary swap usage. So I reverted. now it is using automatic memory parameters.
    so What is the solution for this?
    With Regards,

  • Oracle Developer Suite 10g - Windows 7 - swap space problem

    Hi brothers and sisters,
    Hope all you are fine. I am facing swap space problem while installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows 7 . I have downloaded and installed Oracle Database 11g Express Edition successfully and it is working properly. Now, I have downloaded two files
    a. ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1,
    b. ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2
    to install Oracle Developer Suite 10g using Windows 7 Ultimate. The Oracle Universal Installer have passed the following issues:
    a. Operating system version,
    b. Monitor
    But while checking swap space, it gives a message, "0 MB available, 1535 MB required", Failed. I have 2 GB RAM installed and system managed paging file space which is currently allocated to 2038 MB in my system .
    Please solve me the problem.
    Noor

    increase the system virtual memory for the OS drive.

  • How is SWAP space and Oracle's Shared Memory related ?

    Platform: RHEL 5.4
    Oracle Version: 11.2
    I was trying to increase MEMORY_TARGET to 15g. Then I encountered the following error
    SQL> alter system set memory_max_target=20g scope=spfile;
    System altered.
    SQL> alter system set memory_target=15g scope=spfile;
    System altered.

    MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system
    I gathered that In Linux, if you want to set MEMORY_TARGET, MEMORY_MAX_TARGET to nGB , then you should have a SWAP ( /dev/shm ) of nGB.
    My Swap was only 16gb and I was trying to set memory_max_target to 20g
    $ df -h /dev/shm
    Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    tmpfs                  16G  7.2G  8.6G  46% /dev/shmNow, I am wondering how is Oracle's Shared Memory (SGA+PGA) related to SWAP space in a server ? Shouldn't Oracle's Shared Memory be related to Physical RAM rather than disk based SWAP space ?

    related question:
    In the above mentioned OTN article it says ,
    You could encounter ORA-00845 if your shared memory is not mapped to /dev/shm
    I think he meant
    You could encounter ORA-00845 if your SWAP space is not mapped to /dev/shm .
    Am I right ?

  • Observation: SAP uses swap space even when OS has available unused memory

    Hi Folks,
       It is my understanding that any memory not used by the Linux OS itself or the SAP application is available for Linux to use for I/O buffers and file caching.  When the SAP application requires more memory I would expect Linux to take memory away from itself (release I/O buffer and/or file caching memory).
       We have observed that SAP uses swap space even when there is  memory available.  Is there some feature in SAP kernel or some ABAP construct that causes SAP to prefer swap space over available memory?  Or maybe there is a Linux kernel setting that influences SAP's use of swapping.
    Regards,
    Zaz

    Hi Mike
    You did not mention which distribution you have. Under SLES there is is a parameter called SWAPPINESS, which controls the buffering/swapping.
    cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
    If you don't already know, you can see the memory usage with the free command.
    root # free -m
                 total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
    Mem:          7987       7901         85          0        364       4262
    -/+ buffers/cache:       3274       4712
    Swap:        15999          0      15999
    As far as i know, in this example 3274 is memory used by SAP and other processes and 4712 is cache. Please correct me if i am wrong.
    Regards
    Michael
    Edit: a low swappines, for example 10 means to reduce cache first, a high swappiness (example 100) means page out processes first

  • Arch process using more swap space

    Hi,
    DB : 11.2
    OS : Aix 6
    While taking archive backup by oem,only 9 archive process consuming more swap space.
    The parameter value is LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=15 at db level.
    Why only 9 archive process use swap space at os level?
    how to determine all the archive process needed?
    Thanks & Regards,
    VN

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Physical memory 120 GB,Swap space 45GB.
    We getting TOP consuming SWAP space PID's from OS team.Then we checked v$session with that PID's.We found that PID's belongs to archive processes.
    Nealry 25 log switch per hour happened.the log file size 8gb,8 groups. Then REDO log files is is way too small by around a factor of SIX
    Increase REDO log file size to 50GB to reduce the number of switches per hour to around 3 0r 4.

  • My program on Solaris 9 uses huge amounts of swap space

    hi,
    i have written a program that uses very little memory but seems to use huge amounts of swap space in increments of 1.4GB. The initial install of the Solaris 9 only allocated 500MB of swap for 4GB of Memory. The swap space has now been increased to 16GB but the program seems to use more swap space.
    The program uses an api to attach to up to 100 agents and (the peice i wrote) registers a callback to handle events from the agents, a small amount of memory is allacated to hold details of each agent but no more.
    Can anyone shed any light on this as this program does run on other platforms with any issues.

    are you sure you are release memory, what language are you using?
    you can reboot the system and follow the memory process using vmstat and swap -l, after that run your program only one time, and run the command again so the memory after should be the same that the initial before you run your process, if not , you program is collecting memory and is not releasing it.
    Good luck,

  • Use some Oracle space

    I don't exactly how to say, but I know it's possible to use some Oracle space to create some tables and try out apex for example, easily at home. Can somebody tell me how?
