Informix - Problem description

Problem IT10784 Status: Closed

SOMETIMES SERVER DOESN'T RAISE OUT OF MEMORY MESSAGE WHEN NEW VIRTUAL
SEGMENT ALLOCATION EXCEEDS SHMTOTAL

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10
Problem description:
As shown in the example below sometimes the server allocates a 
new virtual segment though SHMTOTAL is exceeded but other times 
it does not. 
 
Example 1 no OOM message: 
 
15:32:57  Dynamically allocated new virtual shared memory 
segment (size 32768KB) 
15:32:57  Memory sizes:resident:6564 KB, virtual:247316 KB, 
SHMTOTAL:300000 KB 
15:32:58  Dynamically allocated new virtual shared memory 
segment (size 32768KB) 
15:32:58  Memory sizes:resident:6564 KB, virtual:280084 KB, 
SHMTOTAL:300000 KB 
15:33:00  Dynamically allocated new virtual shared memory 
segment (size 32768KB)    << Should have raised OOM message in 
the log and fail to allocate segment 
15:33:00  Memory sizes:resident:6564 KB, virtual:312852 KB, 
SHMTOTAL:300000 KB 
 
Example 2 is a proper OOM message raised: 
 
16:21:02  Dynamically allocated new virtual shared memory 
segment (size 32768KB) 
16:21:02  Memory sizes:resident:6564 KB, virtual:247316 KB, 
SHMTOTAL:275000 KB 
16:21:03  Dynamically allocated new virtual shared memory 
segment (size 32768KB) 
16:21:03  Memory sizes:resident:6564 KB, virtual:280084 KB, 
SHMTOTAL:275000 KB 
16:21:05  Size of resident + virtual segments 6564KB + 226304KB 
> 275000KB 
16:21:05          total allowed by configuration parameter 
SHMTOTAL 
16:21:05  out of virtual shared memory
