Mathias,
Thanks for your mail.
Yes I do understand. Now I have two clarifications.
1. Problem is at this point instead of using Swap My server
response time was very slow and PMON process failed with the message
at alert "PMON failed to acquire latch" and DB went down.
2. In 8.0.6 on Unix used only 7GB Memory but why in 10.2.0.4 on
Linux uses more than 16GB

Are you trying to tune or to understand memory? There is nothing here
that would indicate a problem. If you use all you memory and no swap,
then that would be optimal. It shows that your box is sized perfectly
and you do not ned to use swap. Using swap reduces performance (if we
compare to having enough memory and not needing swap).
If on the other hand you motivation is to understand why these numbers
would be this way, then someone who has spent more time reading RDAs
on Linux would need to answer here. To me the numbers would indicate
that you have just barely reached the point where swap is starting to
be used when more memory is needed.

Dear DBAs,
We have recently migrated Oracle from 8.0.6 on HP-Unix to
10.2.0.4 on Red Hat Linux
Earlier the same application worked fine with 7GB RAM on
HP-UNIX on PA-RISC
Upgraded system on IBM X 3850 with 16GB RAM but still we have
some performance issue.
I knew there is some lagging because of Hardware Architecture
but it is too bad 7 GB to 16GB RAM but still have performance.
Please look at data collected from RDA. Looking at this
scenario my physical memory is fullly used but Swap is not at all used.
Total Physical Memory 16032 MiB
Available Physical Memory 30 MiB
Swap: Max Size 24575 MiB
Swap: Available 24505 MiB
Swap: In Use 70 MiB
We know there is some performance issue in application. I
would like to make as much as possible from Database/Linux side
tunning to provide atlease peaceful performance. Can any body through
some light on why the swap is not at all used.
