Infrastructure Software

Hi

I am facing some serious memory related issues on Linux machine with following details. I am running Oracle 11g database on this machine.

kernel: 2.6.9-55.0.0.0.2.ELsmp
Oracle: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
No of CPUs: 02
RAM: 3GB
sys>show parameter MEMORY_TARGET

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------
memory_target big integer 900M
sys>show parameter MEMORY_MAX_TARGET

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------
memory_max_target big integer 900M


free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3042 3025 16 0 5 2315
-/+ buffers/cache: 703 2338
Swap: 1983 413 1570

Performance monitors show mostly 90%+ memory utilized almost all the time. I believe some tuning can be done on OS level to resolve this issue. Since I dont know much about either Linux or system administration, therefore I'd need some help from the gurus here.

Thanks in advance.
