Hi Oracle - AIX experts,

I am in very difficult situation. We have AIX 7.1 TL3SP1 server in PureFlex
hardware. On this AIX we have Oracle DB 11.2.0.4.0. DB works as expected
after startup and suddenly it goes crazy. No one can connect to this DB
from application and there is a lot of error in alert log and also in AIX.
So this is heavy swapping problem which I had previously in Oracle Linux ,
in that case we added memory and swap[ file also we had problem with low
disks (actually the problem was problematic disks). Here we have 8G memory
and 16G page space and disks also OK. The only thing in which I am not sure
the configuration of page spaces. But I am not AIX specialist....

Please who have same experience with this , please advise how can we solve
this.
