This past weekend, we patched our Production Sun servers with Solaris patches and the Oracle DST patch. On two of those servers which host standby databases (one server for physical, one server for logical), we are seeing swap space gradually drop down to almost nothing from 14-GB. Just had to re-boot one of the servers and the other one is not far behind. A Google search came up with a posting on this list from last year from Grzegorz Goryszewski who was experiencing the same thing. Grzegorz, are you monitoring this list still? Did you find a solution? Has anyone else seen this behavior? Regards, Mark Strickland Seattle, WA
