Also noticed the following:  process stack was set to 8192 and nofiles
to 256.  I am wondering if these should be set to unlimited as I
understand they would only be used if needed.  Also, if I use a ulimit
to reset the values when do these settings take place?  Immediately?? =20

time(seconds)        unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
data(kbytes)         unlimited
stack(kbytes)        8192
coredump(blocks)     unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 256
vmemory(kbytes)      unlimited

I am also wondering if the batch processes are somehow holding onto
memory.  Some appeared to fail and they should have completed long
before the backup failed.

Subject: rman failure ORA-04030 indicates memory issue

Rman fails with:

I notice that=20
A.  A number of batch processes were added to database and likely using
a good deal of "sort" area as large batch processes often do
B.  Volume of data added last night.
C.  This error occurred along with another error:

ORA-12540: TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded

ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 524824 bytes
(pga heap,KSFQ Buffers)

I looked at TOP on Solaris while running the job that failed with
ORA-04030 and out of 8 Gb, 4Gb of RAM were still showing as available.

I decreased the filesperset in rman from 10 to 4 and am concerned with
the degradation of runtime for my backup processes.

The pga_aggregate_target is set at pga_aggregate_target=3D1610612736
sga_max_size=3D2147483648
processes=3D150.

I plan to look at the pga_aggregate_target related views.  I also
noticed in the alert.log the following:

ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [0000000101D51DF0] [SIGBUS]
[Object
specific hardware error] [0xFFFFFFFF7CA9FE90] [] []

Along with a trace file with a specific SQL statement. =20

Question:  How appropriate/inappropriate are the pga_aggregate_target,
sga_max_size given 8Gb RAM and that this is the only database on the
system?
