What version of Solaris do you use & what are the values for shared
memory kernel resources ?

Regards

Subject: not enough swap space?

Good afternoon Gurus,

I have a SunOS superserver 5.8 Generic_117350-33 sun4us sparc
FJSV,GPUZC-M with 4 x sparc64 processors & 16G memory & 16G swap.

We tried to increase the max memory consumption from total of 7G to a
total 9G for our 4 oracle databases running on the machine but ran to a
following error:

Oracle said:

ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 33304 bytes
(pga heap,control file i/o buffer)

ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [0000000101E10A80] [SIGBUS]
[Object specific hardware error]

However, both of these errors are OS related. In the messages I found a
lot of errors related to this:

Dec 14 16:12:37 superserver sshd[466]: [ID 800047 daemon.error] error:
fork: Not enough space

Dec 14 16:14:41 superserver genunix: [ID 470503 kern.warning] WARNING:
Sorry, no swap space to grow stack for pid 8550 (oracle)

Dec 14 16:12:33 superserver genunix: [ID 470503 kern.warning] WARNING:
Sorry, no swap space to grow stack for pid 27971 (hardmond)

I just can't believe that I'm running out of swap. According to 'top' &
'swap' we should quite enough swap and memory for any process:

Top:

Memory: 16G real, 4698M free, 8979M swap in use, 6045M swap free

superserver:# swap -s

total: 8321960k bytes allocated + 944248k reserved = 9266208k used,
6121936k available

Any ideas why this might happen?

Br,

Jarkko
