Is this a memory leak???
The production server keeps using more and more of swap in both memory and disk until it locks up. A reboot seems to clear this up for a while but it always returns (at least during the nighttime batch jobs) and causes processes to abort abnormally. But there are no errors in the logs and no trace files.
Any idea what I should be looking for to fix this? We haven't made any changes to either system (other than disk storage from the SAN) in over 6 months. Both are running HP-UX 11.0 and Oracle 8.1.7.4.

Re: Is this a memory leak???
do you have glance on your system?? Monitor their memory usage over a period of time.
You put following in crontab and run it every 1/5 minutes and check if memory usage goes up or not.
UNIX95= ps -ef -o "vsz,args,pid,ppid" | sort -nr1 | tail -20 >> /tmp/some_log_file
Check log file. The first column is memory usage and unit is KB.

RAC: The ps command didn't like the -o option.

Re: Is this a memory leak???
Look at your /var/tombstones/ts99 and see if you have any hardware issues.
Look at your disks in cstm or stm
Look at your san switch logs if you have san and make sure your san looks healthy.
In addition to a runaway apps or memory leaks you could have a hung waiting on I/0 sitution.
Pop open glansplus and make sure you have no disk hotspots. Have you made any recent san or storage changes?

Re: Is this a memory leak???
A component in the system (hardware) may be slowly dying. dmesg, or viewing syslog and looking for errors may be good help to find out something like this.
Another source of locking up is waiting for storage. As you are talking about oracle, I assume your data resides on SAN. Check to see if someone else is beating on the same disks your database resides, which will slow you down immensely if it is the case.

Re: Is this a memory leak???
Look at your /var/tombstones/ts99 and see if you have any hardware issues. NO ERRORS SHOWING
Look at your disks in cstm or stm FC ERRORS SHOWING BUT THIS MAY BE DUE TO OUTDATED SOFTWARE/PATCHES.
Look at your san switch logs if you have san and make sure your san looks healthy. THIS SEEMS OK. THE SAN SUPPORTS OTHER SYSTEMS WITHOUT ISSUE.
In addition to a runaway apps or memory leaks you could have a hung waiting on I/0 sitution. THIS SEEMS LIKELY BUT SO FAR HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE OR CATCH IT WHILE IT IS HAPPENING
Pop open glansplus and make sure you have no disk hotspots. THE BUSIEST DISKS ARE / AND /ORA_SW1 (WHERE ORACLE IS INSTALLED)
Have you made any recent san or storage changes? WE REARRANGED SOME SAN SPACE ASSIGNED TO THE DEV SERVER. 210GB WAS REASSIGNED TO THE NEW SQL SERVER AND 56GB (A NEW VOLUME GROUP) WAS ASSIGNED TO THE DEV SERVER
