Oracle performance issues

We are having some performance issues running 4 oracle instances on an ES40
with 4 cpus, 14GB memory, and 28GB swap. We are running on V5.1A patchkit
5.

 

I have read the document for configuring 9i oracle for optimal performance
and modified some of the parameters based on the recommendations in the
document. When we initially boot the system, the performance seems to be
great. After a period of time, from hours to a couple of days, our
performance slowly degrades. I rebooted the system this morning and
initially the system started using 11GB of active memory. After a couple of
hours, it slowly started swapping. The active memory has decreased to 6GB
and inactive memory is 6GB. Currently, the swap usage is 103473 pages and
is continuing to increase.

 

Here are my parameters:

 

vm:

ubc_minpercent = 10

ubc_maxpercent = 60

ubc_borrowpercent = 20

vm_page_free_target = 1024

vm_page_free_swap = 544

vm_page_free_hardswap = 16384

vm_page_free_min = 512

vm_page_free_reserved = 256

vm_page_free_optimal = 768

vm_swap_eager = 0

new_wire_method = 0

 

proc:

max_proc_per_user = 2000

max_threads_per_user = 4096

per_proc_stack_size = 536870912

max_per_proc_stack_size = 536870912

per_proc_data_size = 201326952

max_per_proc_data_size = 10737418240

max_per_proc_address_space = 4294967296

per_proc_address_space = 4294967296

maxusers = 4096

 

ipc:

msg_max = 8192

msg_mnb = 16384

msg_mni = 1024

msg_tql = 4096

shm_max = 6417285120

shm_min = 1

shm_mni = 512

shm_seg = 1024

sem_mni = 1024

sem_msl = 2600

sem_opm = 100

ssm_threshold = 0

 

It almost seems as if I have a memory leak. Does anyone have any
recommendations for improving the performance or have something else that I
can look at? I have been using vmubc and collect to gather information but
I have been unable to determine the best course of action.

 

Thanks,

 

Dawn
