Good Day all; I'm new here. We have an urgent problem. A test server which is ready for demonstration (and purchase from Sun/Oracle) suffers from some kind of kernel problem: A 32bit process (ksh) started to consume more than 4G of memory and is still running but defeats some attempts to observe it:
Memory usage is 4.8G and rising and we're troubled what may cause the kernel to ignore the 32bit address limit: prstat 1 | head -3 PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP 5608 remy2 4930M 4588M cpu9 58 0 0:24:57 5.0% ksh/1 380 root 8896K 2392K sleep 59 0 0:00:58 0.1% automountd/4 Observing the process is not always possible, some tools fail like this one: pmap -x 5608 5608: ksh /home/remy2/prod/test/opensolaris/transactions/daily423 /hom 5608: ksh /home/remy2/prod/test/opensolaris/transactions/daily423 /hom 5608: ksh /home/remy2/prod/test/opensolaris/transactions/daily423 /hom 5608: ksh /home/remy2/prod/test/opensolaris/transactions/daily423 /hom 5608: ksh /home/remy2/prod/test/opensolaris/transactions/daily423 /hom 5608: ksh /home/remy2/prod/test/opensolaris/transactions/daily423 /hom pmap: cannot examine 5608: address space is changing What should we do in this case? Reboot? How can we prevent this from happening again during the demonstration on Monday?
