Problem description: | |
Linux 12.10.FC5W1 but can see the same behaviour on 12.10.FC1 and 11.70.FC1. When running a dbexport of the database, the engine ran out of memory and the online.log showed many new memory segments being added. All of the machines available memory was used so it was not possible to complete the export. Even doing a single unload had mixed results. This was originally seen on a RSS node but the same issue can be seen on the primary. Investigations have now shown that this can be seen on stand-alone / normal setup. The problem can be seen with a simple unload statement. If the statement completes, all of the memory is freed. The same select without "unload to ..." does not exhibit this excessive memory usage. If you run an onstat -g ses you will see the memory growing and the breakdown shows partn as the main contributor. An onstat -g afr shows many of these entries. ... 4f1149d8 72 partn 2339 sapimem.c:292 4f114a20 72 ID(1024) 2339 sapimem.c:292 4f114a68 72 partn 2339 sapimem.c:292 4f114ab0 72 ID(1024) 2339 sapimem.c:292 4f114af8 72 partn 2339 sapimem.c:292 | |
