>Mridul: Don't you think that disabling the pseudo swap and increasing the device swap will help??
No, only adding device swap. That's probably why you can't turn off pseudo swap on 11.31 anymore.
>>Mridul: That's what I was trying to say here that disable the pseudo swap and utilise the device swap as much as possible.
The first part wasn't clear at all and I doubt that part will help. swapmem_on(5) says:
http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-60631/swapmem_on.5.html... turning this feature off really does not gain the system anything.
>Then according to you I should increase RAM and swap space both or should I kill some processes to make some space in memory.
What are your file cache parms, dbc_max_pct, dbc_min_pct? Having large values here isn't a good idea if you are running oracle with large SGAs.
You increase RAM if you can afford to do it. Especially if adding more swap space slows things down. Obviously not running so many piggy processes will help. But that requires moving the applications elsewhere or scheduling them for off peak times.
>And why should I disable pseudo space? Can't both pseudo space and device swap be utilized. Like once my device swap is utilized fully then pseudo space will provide necessary memory space.
Exactly. Except you want it to use pseudo swap before device swap.
