hi all
faced with heavy swapping, while investigating found huge difference between oracle and os stats:
v$process says that it use 1.5 gb mem
svmon says that is tis 10gb.
where such differences come from ?


bash-4.2# svmon -U oracle -O segment=category,unit=MB,sortentity=pgsp,filtertype=working,process=on | head -25
Unit: MB
