high kernel memory usage

[Asim_4]

HPUX 11.31 IA64Bit 16Gb Physical Memory
Running Oracle RAC
Sys: 5.9gb User: 8.5gb Free: 878mb
there are no page outs at this time, however my fear is if i do not get a good handle on memory usage my system may get into performance issues.

Hey Asim,
How r you ;)

Which process shows higher memory utilization from glance.

what about page faults??

Any RAC performance issue??

Is this new server, any changes on this box.
I asked which process is taking more memory.

Have you tried to reboot the box earlier.

there are no changes made recently, as far as your question is concerned, i am trying to figure out the same thing, further i also want to understand the high kernel memory usage and if there is anyway i can reduce the usage without causing any issues.

hi asim;

did you change file_cache_max and file_cache_min values ?

here is the relavent info:
> kctune |grep filecache

Hi Asim,

Did you faced the same problem earlier for memory issue.
What is the size for Oracle SGA was there any change in SGA.
And if any other activity going on the server from oracle point of view.(RMAN backup etc)
Can you post swapinfo -atm
seems lil connection with swap.

Which process from glance is occupying maximum memory?

Rahul Rai.
