We have a bunch of Oracle databases running on SLES 10 in one of our z/9 partitions. We are only getting started with this, so we don't much (i.e. nothing) about tuning Oracle to be a polite guest in this environment and our DBA is just as new to it. He is getting advice from a vendor, but I have no faith in that as they think a mainframe is just a big PC....sigh...
Anyway, we are looking at memory usage on these servers and things don't seem right to me. However, I know little to nothing about how Linux uses memory. One servers hows physical memory at 99% used, but actual is only at 9%. Swap is also at 99%. Those numbers don't sound healthy. What types of things can our DBA do to tune how Oracle uses memory or should I just up its virtual storage and postpone the problem? (Our CP paging is going up dramatically too.)
