Last updated on MARCH 18, 2022

Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
- Heavy paging experienced in the system - vmstat and top command output shows the heavy paging
- System running slowly due to paging
- Shutting down the database reduces the paging
- Executing high load jobs may exacerbate the paging problem
- Paging of computational memory at the O/S level is unrestricted
Changes
A database upgrade may have occurred although this is not necessarily a direct cause; if the operating system does nor restrict paging of computational memory then this problem could be initiated by a change in workload and not necessarily an upgrade (although the paging of memory of file system I/O options may be different from release to release).
