APPLIES TO:

Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.1 to 12.1.0.1 [Release 11.2 to 12.1]
IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)

SYMPTOMS

After an upgrade from AIX 5.3 to AIX 7.1, an increase of virtual memory consumption and paging activity is noticed.

All the points were checked as mentioned in
Note 1599824.1 - AIX: ORA-4030 Error or High Swap Usage

Moreover, the system has installed IBM interim patch "IV21116m04" that must be present in the system and numperm_global kernel system parameter is set to 0.
Depending on the system, the consumption of virtual memory could be around 1GB per day.

To monitor the system, next commands can be used:

svmon -Pt15 | perl -e 'while(<>){print if($.==2||$&&&!$s++);$.=0 if(/^-+$/)}'

ps -edf |grep <pid> 

svmon -P <pid>


The output for svmon shows that the increase of memory always under clnt text data BSS heap and this heap is growing, e.g.: 

****svmon -P 46923876
