Thanks, but I don't think that is the case - the page space is only 4GB:

/opt/oracle ->lsps -a

Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type
hd6 hdisk0 rootvg 4096MB 2 yes yes lv

But here it shows that over 7GB (out of 16GB total RAM) is currently pinned:

/opt/oracle ->vmstat -v

              4194304 memory pages
               162150 free pages
              1890651 pinned pages

Regards,
Brandon

What your monitoring programs are showing you is likely the maximum size of the page table, not the actual pinned memory. Of course, that would be my guess.
