I am trying to duplicate a 10g database to a new host. Host has 28Gig of memory it is running REDHAT Enterprise. It reads approx 10 X 2 gig backup slices then Redhat's out of memory utility kicks in and kills the new database AND an innocent bystander database Both DBs generate a PMON 471 Error. I watched the memory with free and the process did not use up all the memory - I also have 28Gig of swap. I have logged a TAR but Oracle have gone rather quiet! Howard A.
