Your SGA, memlock and hugepage size are too close to each other. For
reason I don't know, sometimes hugepages have to be a little larger than 
SGA. In any case, memlock can be set to very large with no harm. It 
doesn't actually allocate memory as hugepages does.

When you start using srvctl and have a lot of swapping, is HugePages 
used? Check /proc/meminfo. You probably get out of memory error in
$ORACLE_HOME/log/<host>/racg/imon_<db>.log.

You don't another instance on this box including ASM, do you?
