Our biggest problem was that the Sybase administrator was
using a Sybase configuration file that was designed for
one dataserver. He simply copied the same file into his
setup for three dataservers.
His single server environment said to use 1gb of Virtual Memory.
Now he has three servers that are told to use 1gb of VM EACH!!
So he sucked up 3gb of VM. He changed that and things are back to
normal.
I also increased our swap to 5gb, originally 2gb swap for 2gb of
physical RAM.
I haven't heard anything about its effectiveness, but atleast
I'm not running out of swap anymore.
