To all:

I am an Oracle DBA who is working with Oracle 8i on a new ES40 2 node
cluster running 5.0a. We run 12 separate Oracle Instances, not in OPS mode.

Currently, I am experiencing Oracle error number 4030 when trying to store
all database modules into memory.

enterprise:(NOSID):/usr/oracle>oerr ORA 4030
04030, 00000, "out of process memory when trying to allocate %s bytes
(%s,%s)"
// *Cause: Operating system process private memory has been exhausted
// *Action:
enterprise:(NOSID):/usr/oracle>

We currently have 4GB RAM on each node. The databases are no where near 4Gb
in size ... Maybe 2GB total.

Which Kernel parameter denotes:
Operating system process private memory

My proc subsystem Kernel params are below: I just do not know which one the
error message relates to

proc:
max_proc_per_user = 512
max_threads_per_user = 1024
per_proc_stack_size = 8388607
max_per_proc_stack_size = 33554432
per_proc_data_size = 134217728
max_per_proc_data_size = 1073741824
max_per_proc_address_space = 4294967296
per_proc_address_space = 4294967296
executable_stack = 0
autonice = 1
autonice_time = 600
autonice_penalty = 4
open_max_soft = 4096
open_max_hard = 4096
ncallout_alloc_size = 8192
round_robin_switch_rate = 60
sched_min_idle = 0
give_boost = 1
maxusers = 2048
num_wait_queues = 2048
num_timeout_hash_queues = 2048
enhanced_core_name = 0
enhanced_core_max_versions = 16
exec_disable_arg_limit = 0

Thanks in advance.
