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!

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!
