shared memory full

Posted By: KAMRAN HAQ
Date: Monday, 13 January 2014, at 1:27 p.m.

Hi,
Today, memory of our informix instance increased from 2.5GB to 8GB within 9 minutes.
That instance is running with 2.5GB shared memory for around last 4 months.
8GB is defined as shmtotal so further requests for memory chunks overturned by the instance.
Usually we have session with a few KB memory to around 10MB memory.
Sorting the sessions on memory we got a session aquiring 1.83GB as can be seen below:

onstat -g ses

Operating system: Sun Solaris

The second largest session w.r.t. memory was holding 9.9 MB. We are unable to find or guess
where the rest of memory gone. Also:
how a session can consume so much memory?
if cummulative memory of session (through onstat -g ses) is consuming only 20% of total instance memory,
why we receing the messages in online log that no more memory chunks are allowed as shmtotal limit reached
