SYMPTOM(s):
System is paging after 700 users are connected to a database.
Not running out of memory
CAUSE:
80% of memory was allocated for file cache.
FIX:
Virtual memory management parameters not set appropriately. 80% of memory was being allocated for file cache. This meant that 80% of the physical memory was not available for use. Therefore when 700 users were connected to the database, they exceeded the amount of memory available. Lack of available memory will cause paging and swapping. Reconfigure the virtual memory management parameters so as to not exhaust or allocate large amounts of memory to file cache.
