MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
dear sirs
can i tune my kernel and free some system memory which can be used by my application.
any suggestions

Re: MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
Hi Shridhar,
Looking at the output:
Physical memory = 4.0g 100%
Free memory = 12.5m 0%
User processes = 3.0g 74%
System = 1018.6m 25%
M_TEMP = 77475 302.6m 7%
Observations:
o User processes are occupying 74% of memory , Check which is the process and is this normal. Need top output to confirm the same...
o kernel is using 20% of the memory which is on the higher side.
Suggestions:
o You can tune kernel parameter "vx_ninode" ( If it is presently set to zero)to free up some memory which is being used up by "M_TEMP" , You can limit it to 100MB , that will free up 200MB of memory
o Permanent Solution would be to Increase the physical memory
Can you paste "kmtune" and "top" output to check further.

Re: MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
UNIX95= ps -ef -o vsz,pid,ppid,ruser,args | sort -nk1
Will tell you what processes are using most of the memory. Also glance -m and look for system and buffer and user memory. buffer cahe should be wisely used.

Re: MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
dear RAC
I do not have glance
UNIX95 command is giving error
-ef not found
we have sap r/3 with oracle 9.0.2.0
now there is lot of paging
and high io on root VG
from last 2 days
is it requied to tune kernel
i have 20 GB swap on root VG
thanx for your reply

Re: MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
The "-ef: not found" error is because you left out the space between the equal sign and "ps".

Re: MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
It appears that you have just 4Gb of RAM but dozens of large processes running. Assuming that these processes aree working correctly, there is nothing you can do in the kernel to reduce memory usage except to kill some of those big processes (not recommended unless they are not working correctly). You need another 4Gb of RAM to properly size your server for this workload.

Re: MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
dear bill
thanks for the reply
the max memory i can extend is 2 GB
as i have RP 3410 which supports
only 6GB max
I m planning to increase ram
which will require some time
so i was intrested to tune oracle /sap
for better performance
how sap uses memory
any suggestions
regards
shridhar

Re: MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
The only thing you can do is to reduce the number of users and processes running a4t the same time. 4Gb is adequate for single instance of Oracle but add SAP and even 6Gb may be too small. You can reconfigure SAP and Pracle to use less space in the shared memory areas but this will usually make the applications run slowwer.

Re: MEMORY BOTTLENECK ------ URGENT
shridhar,
The kernel memory use seems a bit much relatively speaking, so you shoudl try to nickle and dime that somewhat.
Reduce NPROC / NFILE as much as possible.
Reduce filesytem params as much as possible as SAP/Oracle systems tend to use little file system activity and do their own caching.
What's with all those NFS/IO deamons.
It this an SAP box or a file server?!
Tune accordingly.
Bu mostly you should review both Oracle and SAP setting to try and understand whether the memory given to those is reasonable.
Both have good stats to help you with.
For example, Oracle STATSPACK has a BUFFER POOL and SHARED POOL sizing estimate table, indicating the cost/benefit of reducing/increasing each. by step of 10% or so.
Maybe you have a 700 MB Oracle buffer pool and reducing to 50 MB is only expect to increase IO by 10%? Ditto for the Oracle shared pool. Several SPA applications have a relatively low number of fixed queries and thus need not too much shaed pool.
For SAP, have a look at ST02 output.
What is the "Max Use" reported under "Extended Memory"? Revisit tuning of em/initial_size_MB and the likes.
The GBs virtual memory used vs physical availble is a little scary but you are surviving, so maybe some buffers are simply oversized. Less SAP extended memory, and more ROLL/PF ?
But perhaps more importantly revisit the big SAP knobs: rdisp/wp_no_dia, rdisp/wp_no_btc, rdisp/wp_no_vb.
It looks like you have a good few disp+work's running. I have seen those oversize all too often, and with that you also get too many Oracle slaves of course.
The reasoning sometimes is: Hmm, our dialogue response time is low, lets add a few more dialogue servers. Well, if the system was simply over-loaded, or undersized, then adding more servers will only increase contention and memory use causing a slow down from a systm wide perspective.
Please don't try to solve this from a system admin perspective only. Please work with your SAP / Oracle staff to evaluate load and tuning opportunities.
Good luck,
Hein.
