hello,

can anyone look in to my problem.... how to overcome this situation.

[dsuva]

these processes get created whenever any client processes connect to the server with or without the help of an application
and to carry out any user request.

The tnsnames.ora file is read to identify the Protocol,Port and the Service_name or SID value.

The processes disappears when the client proceses closes or is terminated.

The size of each individual Oracle process in Unix is not exactly the size displayed by the OS. The size of each Oracle process shows the size of the shared memory segment. So, the size showed by the OS is "shared memory" + "process space". So, the total of all your Oracle processes is not the true total of memory used by your database, but most likely far from it. If you are not paging or swapping heavily, I would not worry. To check paging and swapping in Solaris use:
for paging:
$> vmstat 3
for swapping:
$> vmstat -s 3
I/O readings:
$> iostat -xnc 3

For other options see man pages.

For Solaris 2.7, set priority paging on if you have high paging and high disk activity, especially writes.
