There are no issues with these tables.  While they are growing, they are way under their limits.

This is a good thing.  Are you having problems starting new processes?

You have no page outs.

 

>does the following output of ipcs command, indicates any problems with memory:

 

It just says that Oracle has some shared memory:  8.5 and 6.5 GB.

Re: explanation of sar -v 1 10 output

hi

 

what happened was that an coleague was trying to acess the DB of this server, from another hp-ux server, and she was having shared memory errors, and trhown out of the application.

So we rebooted the DB server, (306 days uptime), and memory consumption was brought down to 70% seen in glance, and she can now acess the DB
