dm_oracle fails to run - heap size crossed high water mark.

I am trying to run dm_oracle on a HP-UX 11i.v2 OS (ia64). Seem to get the following error while trying to run dm_oracle.

dm_malloc(18111):WARNING ->heap size(95670) CROSSED high water mark(78623) .

Does anybody know which kernel parameter that I can tune to rectify thie problem.
Thanks

Hi:

The "heap" equates to 'maxdsiz' for 32-bit processes and to 'maxdsiz_64bit' for 64-bit ones.

Regards!

That's an Oracle issue.
Unlikely to be HPUX dependent.
Maybe SHMMAX, but I really doubt it.

Check the configuration files?
# view $PIN_HOME/sys/dm_oracle/pin.conf ??

Check out Oracle forums like:

Also, are you sure there is an issue?

The message indicates:

That's a WARNING. The most it ever used was xxx and became yyy.
Is that a problem?

Unfortunately the message doesn't say whether these are bytes or KBs.
Also is dm_oracle a 32 or 64 bit application?

Re: dm_oracle fails to run - heap size crossed high water mark.

Hi Guys, had already increased the shared memory to 3Gb and the maxdsiz to 4Gb before posting the question - problem still exist. The dm_oracle is a 32bit executable. Thanks for replying , hope someone could assist me in fixing this problem. Btw, have logged a case with Oracle unfortunately they cant tell any further than kernel has to be tuned but no metion of which parameter. Thanks

This may just be an informational message. I would hope Oracle could tell you that.
