Symptoms
Database performance deteriorates after the databases and applications are started. Application users connect to the database using dedicated connections (though can also happen in shared server configuration). The memory consumption/ paging and swapping continues to grow until the system is unusable. Once the applications and databases are stopped the swap space is released and everything returns to normal.
Memory monitoring tools (e.g. Topas, NMON and vmstat) show Oracle processes have the highest memory usage.
No ORA-4030 errors are reported only the following are seen in the alert log:
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:fork failed with status: 12
ORA-27301: OS failure message: Not enough space
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: skgpspawn3.
