Hi Experts,
This is regarding a problem that I am facing in my
Solaris Setup.
If anybody can help me out, it will be of great help.
The Setup is like -
I am using Solaris version 2.6 running a number of
application processes along with a number of third
party softwares. The details of which are:
S/W Version
Solaris 2.6
Orbix 3.0
Roguewave 7
EXODUS 3.0.2
SEM 3.0
Oracle 8I
The problem is that the System leaks around 6 MB of
memory per day and there is no clue where this memory
is leaking. Using the "top" command we can observe
that Total system Memory Available decreases by 6 MB
per day, though none of the application processes is
growing in size. That is Process-wise memory dumps
taken at regular intervals by using "ps -elf "
command shows that no Application process is growing
in size, however the total available system memory
keeps on going down continuously.
a) Thought comes mind that may be some Kernel process
is leaking the memory. Or the Kernel memory loss is
contributing to this total system memory loss. Can
this be the case?
b) If this can be the case, is there some Unix command
/tool which can be used to confirm this fact ?
c) We went through the Manual of utility called "sar",
but could not find much use of it. How can "sar"
(with some option/s) be used to determine the cause
of problem.
Please help me out admins, on how to solve this
problem and what could be the root cause.
Thanx in advance
With Regards,
Deepak
