we have a 2 node RAC/Exadata solution and have configured about 500GB of
720GB memory for Huge Pages.
Now this is over configured at the moment as we have decommissioned some
databases. This is our combined TEST/DR environment and we could spin up
more containers at any time.
Last week we had node 1 crash and oracle support came back saying it was
due to memory pressure and we need to configure fewer Huge Pages.
While in theory that makes sense but I am struggling to understand why a
system with 200G+ memory not allocated to huge pages is crashing due to
memory issues. I have checked our alert logs and the databases start using
huge pages.
Anyone here can explain to me how this can happen, as oracle support keep
repeating to lower the configured huge pages.
