Symptoms
The use of DISM on Solaris systems (SPARC and x86-64) outside of the ASM instance can lead to several different issues ranging from excessive swap usage even when memory is available to kernel panics to performance problems. It has been determined by engineering that the ASM instance is typically such a small memory footprint that it should not cause an issue.
From a Database and/or Clusterware perspective the Symptoms include:
- Overall Poor Performance including login problems
- Processing Delays Resulting in IPC errors
- Instance Evictions
- Node Evictions
From a system perspective the Symptoms include:
- High System Time (often exceeding 50%)
- GUDs will show numerous threads in the ipc_get system call
- Excessive swap usage
- Kernel Panics
