I hope someone can help. We recently installed Oracle 8.1.7 and started to run parallels. However, once a day, the entire machine freezes up solid and has to be rebooted. We get this message in the AIX message log:

Has anyone ever seen this error before? Could it be caused by the patches installed to AIX prior to the Oracle upgrade? How much memory does ORACLE recommend to run 8.1.7 efficiently? How about if running 8.0.5 and 8.1.7 concurrently on the same box? Is more memory required? Our AIX person is on holidays. How do you determine the amount of memory installed on the box?
I know I'm not asking much! Any help would be appreciated. Received on Thu Apr 11 2002 - 17:59:48 CEST
