Hi all,

When a look to the process memory usage on my server it report

SunOS sunprod 5.6 Generic_105181-15 sun4u 11/26/99

PID Size Resident Shared Private Process

   26265   75080k   73632k    8016k   65616k  oracleprod (LOCAL=NO)
   25781   74976k   73576k    8016k   65560k  oracleprod (LOCAL=NO)
   25791   74928k   73472k    8016k   65456k  oracleprod (LOCAL=NO)
   27531   74784k   73416k    8016k   65400k  oracleprod (LOCAL=NO)

I think this Unix tool (memps) and others are misreporting the Private and Shared memory amount
on Oracle process.

Have you heard of this before ?

I guess that the memory tool provide by Sun wrongly report the Oracle SGA (shared memory) as private memory for every process.

Can't Unix see Oracle shared memory as shared ?

Any idea ? THANKS ! Received on Tue Nov 30 1999 - 05:07:55 CST
