6GB Memory become full

[Hein van den Heuvel · Accepted solution]

Thanks for the details.

A few observations...

The XFC cache is holding on the 2.2GB (35%) of the memory. This is 'soft' allocationn. That is, if there is other memory pressure, then it will release memory there.

The "Memory Reservations" for ORA_A73_SGA hold 2.44GB, for 40% of the memory. Less than 1/2 of that is actually used (149669 out of 320000). The unused 1.6GB (roughly) is not available to anything else. You should work with the DBA's to grow the SG to use the memory set aside, or reduce that memory set aside.

So while VMS reports 0 free, you really have more than 3GB free-able right now!

Hi all,

I have a similar case at one of our customer. During normal backup procedure I noticed that Memory capacity occupied about 99% and it does not releaded until next reboot.
So please give me your opinion about this and if there is any settings or enhancements for releasing the Memory occupation.
