Hi expert,
I installed DB2 v8.2 server on Solaris 9 box. When I connect to DB2
using control centre or other applications(ex cept command line),
around 12 db2sysc processes pop up and each one consumes more than 2G
memory(total 30G memory). The server only has 8G physical memory, so
DB2 costs too many memory resources. I tried to reduce the
appgroup_mem_sz and app_ctl_heap_sz , but it didn't work. What else can
I do?
Please help!

Please be sure that they really are chewing up that type of memory. If
you're using top and see that each process is using 2G of memory, much of
that may actually be shared between the processes. Much of it may be
virtual memory (allocated, but not actually used yet).
Is your swap really being used for 22+G of disk space? If that were true,
your system would probably grind to a halt trying to allocate the
diskspace, swapping each db2sysc process in and out of physical RAM.
My guess is that you're looking at top's output and reading its memory
status as if each process were completely independant. Due to the nature
of fork(2), they aren't. Each process shares lots of memory in
copy-on-write memory pages, plus there is actual shared (read-write) memory
on top of that (using something like shmget(2)). So the numbers top shows
can be quite misleading. And yet, I couldn't imagine a way they could make
it accurate and obvious (not misleading to those who don't know unix
internals).

On Solaris, I'm using "prstat -a -s rss" to check the process's memory
consumption(not AIX "top"). Do you have any other good ideas to check
real memory consumption?
Thanks a lot.

What fixpack are you using? Please type db2level command.
Unless there is a serious bug (most likely resolved in a fixpack
already available) you are probably mistaken about the amount of
memory actaully being used.

I would first consult a Solaris expert to verify that DB2 is really
using that much memory, and then contact the DB2 Support Center if you
still think there is a problem.

No, there is no good way to check real memory consumption. As I said above,
I can't imagine a way that the prstat/top/kernel developers could display
accurate real memory usage. We're talking about a tree here where some
memory is being mapped into multiple process spaces, with flags set such
that if any of the processes attempts to write to that memory, the kernel
gets an exception at which point it copies the memory to a new page and
then allows the write to continue. Since most of this 2G of memory that
db2sysc seems to be using will never be written to, that exception never
occurs, and you save on physical RAM.
Your best bet really is to be paying attention to swap usage and total RAM
allocation. If there is no swap usage, and total RAM allocation shows 4-5
GB free RAM, you can thus deduce that DB2 is only using 2-3G of RAM. If
total RAM free is over 6G, then DB2 is not only using less than 2G of RAM,
we can further deduce that some of the memory is still virtual, and not
committed by the kernel yet.
Darin McBride wrote:

From Solaris, that's true. And of course you know this Darin, but
Tony can use the db2mtrk command to show how much memory has actually
been allocated. Of course, this requires trusting the tool, but we
don't have much choice (and no reason to believe it isn't accurate). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
