Hi,
I am getting out of memory error in my Linux Redhat server. Kernel used: 2.6.9-67
Please help me to check on the message below on what could be the possible cause for the out of memory error? Thanks.

The SGA memory is 1.5GB. I am not sure about the kernel parameter. How can I check?
ASKER
Could this be the problem?
kernel: Normal free:3608kB min:3728kB low:7456kB high:11184kB
The normal free is below min value of 3728kB. Where can I set this threshold to a lower value?
