After reading Jonathan Lewis' article at http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2007/04/16/sga-resizing/, I ran the query against v$sga_resize_ops and sure enough there hasn't been any operations since 11-APR-07 02:30:38, when this error happened.

v$sga_resize_ops also shows an INSANE amount of activity, each time shrinking the buffer cache (db_cache_size) and growing the shared pool (shared_pool_size).

What confuses me is that the INITIAL_SIZE and FINAL_SIZE never change during this flurry. Here is a small sample of the output, there is lots more just like it:

START_TIME OPER_TYPE COMPONENT PARAMETER  OPER_MODE INITIAL_SIZE FINAL_SIZE

------------------ ---------- --------------------
-------------------- --------- ------------ ----------
11-apr-07 02:30:29 SHRINK     DEFAULT buffer cache db_cache_size
 IMMEDIATE    838860800  838860800
                   GROW       shared pool          shared_pool_size

 IMMEDIATE 587202560 587202560 11-apr-07 02:30:33 SHRINK DEFAULT buffer cache db_cache_size  IMMEDIATE 838860800 838860800
                   GROW       shared pool          shared_pool_size
 IMMEDIATE 587202560 587202560 I'm considering the suggestion of setting decent minimums for the pool sizes, but I don't see how it would address this particular issue. Perhaps it is just that bug, and perhaps ASMM isn't as fantastic as I thought.
