Re: identify what is allocating memory

In Response To: Re: identify what is allocating memory (JACQUES RENAUT)

@Marcus ,
The reason to try identify who is using determined segment is because the
engine just start allocate segments and do not stop.
Itried identify who needed all this memory.
I check the defect that you mentioned and I suspect could be it , because
the mt pool was ~2GB of total size.
(this do not match with +9GB segments allocated , but since we are talking
about a defect, always consider everything is possible here)

So, we already delayed our upgrade from FC8W1 to FC9 few days ago.
With this situation , we should probably need to bounce our instance soon
or it would run out of memory, so I've stopped it and upgrade to FC9 .

@Jacques ,

Thank you for your explanation.
Please, can you answer my question below?

If I get the sum of the column totalsize of all lines on 'onstat -g mem'
(Pool+blkpool), should be close value of the used memory for the segments
at 'onstat -g seg' ? (respecting the type of the segment, vitual,
reserved...)
Ask that because the situation I had here the sum of everything at 'onstat
-g mem' was close of 8.3GB and the used segments at 'onstat -g seg' was
~16G (blkused*4096).
Which is to huge discrepancy...

I open an PMR for this, but unfortunately we do not have time enough to
wait a feedback to collect more information and decide bounce and upgrade
the instance since we was into a window for maintanece where this will be
allowed.

Regards
Cesar
