Re: ram utilization

Hi there.
I attached some samples from our K-class server ( 4 CPU / 2 GB RAM ).

The samples show the result of the statement ipcs -moa, the kernel configuration and the init.ora file for the database ( vers. 8.0.5.2.1). Pls check the appropriate files and setups on your machine.
Check the usage of the memory, that is used by the database ( get a dba to help you otherwise let us know ) and try to reduce it ( sort area, system global area, db dbuffer size are the most important parameters for oracle ).
If you need more help, just let us know.

For this kind of problem you could also place a posting in the IT resouce center forums --> HPUX --> databases .
