I frequently observe high paging in 'st06 - detail analysis - Memory' on Oracle 11g Windows 2008 systems. The lowest Mimimum Free RAM is 3GB with an average of 4GB free. SAPNote 689818 explains that Windows cannot differnetiate between disk IO and paging and further explains that IO during backups may be reported as high paging. This explains the high page rates reported during my backups but I also see high paging during normal operations. On an AIX based system I would only expect to see high paging if RAM was low or exhausted, but as explained above there is no shorage of RAM.
I am wondering if other BW processing such as BEX analyser or WEB reports may be getting reported as Page for the same reasons described above. Do any Windows Gurus have views on this? Should I be asking for more RAM?
