Well do you see a lot of swapping going on when you are running Oracle
?
try vmstat -S 1 10
Obviously i think you see a lot of pageins when you startup an Oracle
instance. (And you may see swapouts if your system is short of memory)
But later on when the system stabilizes, do you see a lot swapping
activity ?
What did you mean when you said that Oracle is using 1 GB of swap ?
On Solaris, SWAP includes your PHYSICAL MEMORY + DISK SPACE you
configured for SWAP.
You can try this.
1)give swap -s command 2)startup the Oracle Instance 3)give swap -s command again
