Rich, we've run into something similar with OEM 10g (10.2.0.4).  Our OMS
server shares it with another DB and is an 8 x 32GB Redhat server.
We've got 154 targets, of which 33 are dbs and 28 are servers (nearly
all db servers).

At least once a month the OMS starts generating ORA-00600 [17059] errors
and we end up having to bounce the OMS, repository, and agent on that
server to stop the errors.  No better resolution yet!

Dave

Subject: Memory leak in GC 10.2.0.3.0?

Hey all,

I'm running Grid Control 10.2.0.3.0 on a P-IV desktop with OEL 4, 2GB
RAM
and 2GB swap.  I have 39 targets, with only 5 of those being Oracle DBs
and
maybe 6 more hosts -- the rest is the listener, agent, beacon, etc
overhead
that I have no interest in.  I am generally the sole user of the console
to
monitor 1 production DB.

After all of 140 days, I get an alert that swap on the OMS' server is
>97%
consumed.  Sure enough, the Java slice running the OMS is taking up
>3.2GB
of virtual.  I did an emergency bounce of the OMS, even though
/proc/meminfo
showed a few hundred MB of FS cache which should be available for
stealing,
and all's well for now.

This reeks of familiarity and sure enough, I posted something similar 10
months ago:
//www.freelists.org/post/oracle-l/GC-10gR2-mem-leak-on-Oracle-EL4

Since I'm the only DBA here I'm thinking my "best" option is to
<shudder>
*schedule* bounces of the OMS (probably quarterly), which peeves me to
no
end.

Anyone care to share their OMS server's RAM usage (we've got all OMS
pieces
on same server)?  Am I just way short on RAM here?  Is there any way to
troubleshoot this?  Or am I stuck bouncing the OMS?

Filing an SR is not an option, given one of the two I currently have
open is
approaching it's anniversary -- I don't have that kind of time.

TIA!

Rich
