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 | |
