Oracle memory issue.
I'm fairly new to tuning Oracle on HP-UX (all my previous experience was with other DB types) so I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue that I'm having.
At least twice a week we run into an issue where Oracle (and it's associated applications) spins out of control and "eats" all of the memory and swap on the server. CPU and disk I/O is next to zero.
I checked swapinfo and less than 10% of the physical swap is being used.
Here are the system vitals:
Model: rp8420
CPU: 10
Memory: 16 Gb
Swap: 16 Gb (across 4 devices)
Oracle: 9.2.0.4 64bit
Does anyone have an idea of some things that I can check to try and relieve this pressure or is this something that I need to have my DBA's work w/ Oracle on?
Thanx in advanced.

Re: Oracle memory issue.
Oracle 9.2.0.4 is a really old version, if it's possible you should migrate to 9.2.0.8 or 10gR2 or even 11g.
What's the version of HPUX?
uname -a
What's the size of the SGA?
show parameter sga

Re: Oracle memory issue.
SGA: 554 mb
Can't upgrade the DB at this time. Business won't let us.

Re: Oracle memory issue.
and also check your buffer cache kernel parameter:
# kmtune | grep dbc
dbc_max_pct
dbc_min_pct
I think they are also to high. for more infos check this:
http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-0710/ch04s01.html
maybe some useful infos for swap:
