[IMAGE]dear all I have a Enterprise 5500 running solaris 8 with the
kernel patch version 108528-21 and oracle 9i.The physical memory size is
3072MB and the swap space size is 6.5GB.Then the IPC parameter for oracle
is setup below 3221225471 max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)
1 min shared memory segment size (SHMMIN)
500 shared memory identifiers (SHMMNI)
100 max attached shm segments per process (SHMSEG) When I
try to check the memory usage using the top utility, the almost of 3167MB
swap space is using by the oracle process and the 1137MB physical memory
is free.In this point, I have the first question Why the oracle process
is not use the remained physical memory space?I think that the reason
of question is the virtual memory management policy on solaris os.But,
our DBA ask to me that "when the many free memory is remain, the oracle
process must using the physical memory. isn't it? In this case, when the
oracle processing the trasaction sunch as sort or build a index, the
system performance was very slow. It have a some problem"The outout of
top utility is below last pid: 7882; load averages: 0.00, 0.03,
0.04

the reason of first question right?If the first question is ringt Can I
change the virtual memory management policy on solaris os? Please, anyone
help me.....
