Hi all
we have two rp7420 servers cluster running oracle database. the two server have 8 GB memory and they are running out of it.
# swapinfo -tam
Mb Mb Mb PCT START/ Mb
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 16000 0 16000 0% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
reserve - 2271 -2271
memory 6224 6224 0 100%
total 22224 8495 13729 38% - 0 -
#
As you see above. although the swap is enable, but I can't see any paging there.
by the way, what is this reserve for? it reserve 2 GB memory for what?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: The Server is not paging
Have a look at the "swapinfo description and example..." section of:

Re: The Server is not paging
A better indicator of whether your paging/swapping is to run "vmstat 1 5" and observe the po, or page out, column. A zero in this column means no paging, numbers in the single digits are OK, but, when the numbers get up into or near the twentis, you've got a problem and either need to reduce your load or obtain more memory.

Re: The Server is not paging
According to dev line, you have not swap since your last reboot, and you have reserved 38% of swap space.
Your system looks fine at the moment. Looks like you are just fine with memory.
If your concern is memory, even though you are fine, the only real solution is to add more memory.
Regards,
Jaime.

Re: The Server is not paging
I was having problems with one file system regarding inode. after doing a full check the inodes are fixed.
