Hello

I am stuckup while executing sqls on a HP-UX box

There isn't much I/O or CPU usage as such I doubt on memory issue

There are 3 databases instances on the server but they were executing fine till today early morning after which everything went worst. Every SQL is hanging.

The physcical reads and consistent gets in v$sess_io hasn't increased for sessions in last 40-45 minutes

The waits in v$session_wait are db_sequential_read or db_scattered_read and the seconds_in_wait is increasing continuously

How can I find which session is consuming most memory?

The options of "top" command aren't working on HP-UX as works on Linux
We have GLANCE on the on HP-UX box. But I don't know how I can find out the process (OS level or DB or anything) consuming most memory.

I have attached snapshot of the screen after executing GLANCE

Please suggest

Regards,
OraKaran

It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/

what clues exist in any alert_SID.log files or OS messages file?

The alert.log file is not updated in last 1 hour for the database I monitoring

I shutdown it a hour back to confirm I am the only user on that database, But no use

following is the trace file of the session I am monitoring as can be seen from it I started the trace in between

Hello

Disk is not at all full

Where to check OS messages? I don't have Unix expert around

Your issue is probably resolved by now, but in future you can try a PS listing to see the fields you want. Using PS, you'll get all processes reported.

#Solaris
ps -o user,fname,vsz,rss,pmem,pcpu,pid,comm -u oracle


#HP-UX, no pmem
# ps -o user,comm,vsz,sz,pcpu,pid,comm -u oracle


Don't guess at what the figures represent for mem and % ulilization on multi-core machines.

man ps for details...


You'll be able to spot the hign mem users, but HP reports vsz, sz in pages as I recall. To get HP pagesize:
# e.g. 4096 means 4k pagesize
/usr/sbin/kmtune | grep vps_pagesize | awk '{printf "%-12.f\n", $2*1024}'

Hello Andrew

Many thanks for the reply

I tried using the command suggested by you

Interpreting the output is taking time

Initially the '-o' option gave me truble and I had to use
Quote:

export UNIX95=

before the command

Similarly 'ps aux' (and -aux) are troubling me. I assume it is because of the unix version I am using

I am trying to resolve it as well as trying to interpret the output of
Quote:

ps -o user,comm,vsz,sz,pcpu,pid,comm -u oracle


Thanks for your help

Regards,
OraKaran

Yes, UNIX95 is required, but don't export it, as you only want to enable XPG4 behavior for that command (else you'll break existing code that's also sensitive to it like sed, grep, tr, etc.)
UNIX95= ps -o user,comm,vsz,sz,pcpu,pid,comm -u oracle
Do a 'man ps' for help on the columns, or just try someone else's existing script... See bottom of http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1351913#tdIdName23

this was a quick solution for me last week (Solaris):
# sort is on rss
/users/home/usr1> ps -o vsz,rss,pmem,pcpu,pid,comm -u oracle | sort -n +1 | tail -3
