Many utilities Solaris is not quite correct to find statistics on the
processes that work with shared memory (shared memory), in this case, a
shared-memory Oracle.
It turns out that the utility prstat adds shared memory for all processes
oracle.
oracle@myhost $ ps -efgreporawc -l
185
The total size of SGA instance oracle:
oracle@myhost $ sqlplus '/assysdba'
SQL>showsga
TotalSystemGlobalArea 1075651720 bytes
If we multiply the number of processes on the total size of the SGA, we get
closer to 188GB, which showed us prstat. Of course, a more accurate estimate,
you need to add more size PGA for each process.
185 * 1 075 651 720 bytes = 198 995 568 200 bytes = 185GB

It turns out that the utility prstat adds shared memory for all processes oracle. oracle@myhost $ ps -efgreporawc -l 185 The total size of SGA instance oracle: oracle@myhost $ sqlplus '/assysdba' SQL>showsga TotalSystemGlobalArea 1075651720 bytes If we multiply the number of processes on the total size of the SGA, we get closer to 188GB, which showed us prstat. Of course, a more accurate estimate, you need to add more size PGA for each process. 185 * 1 075 651 720 bytes = 198 995 568 200 bytes = 185GB
