oracle: page allocation failure. order:5 messages in syslog

User_L821WFeb 10 2015 — edited Feb 12 2015

Hi

We have 2 node RAC database of version 11.2.0.4 and its running on Linux platform.

min_free_kbytes=65536 and actual memory on server is 500GB.

There are no hugepages configured on server and oracle is using automatic memory management feature.

We observed below messages in syslog of one rac node.

When this message occurred, top command showed more than 10gb free memory and same amount of free swap space.

Please help us to understand what could be issue? I had gone through some metalink doc but they are related to exadata.

Does it indicating memory bottleneck on server?
