Huge Pages enables the Linux kernel to manage large pages of memory in addition to the standard
4KB page size. If you have a system with more than 16GB of memory running Oracle databases
with a total System Global Area (SGA) larger than 8GB, you should enable the HugePages feature
to improve database performance.
If Huge Pages is enabled but the system isn't configured to allow for the requested huge page
allocation excessive swapping will occur. This will result in degraded database performance.
To ensure this doesn't happen a Metric Extension can be created in Enterprise Manager to notify
administrators if the system is incorrectly configured.
The following will describe the process of creating the Metric Extension in Enterprise Manager
Create the script that will be uploaded to the OMS:

1. On your local machine create a file called check_hugepage_usage.sh that contains the following
RECD_SIZE=0
CFG_TOTAL=`grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo | awk '{print $2}'`
SIZE=$((`grep Hugepagesize /proc/meminfo | awk '{print $2}'` * 1024))
for SHMSEGS in `ipcs -m | awk '{print $5}' | sed -n '4,$p'`
do
SEGSIZE=$(($SHMSEGS / $SIZE))
if [ $SEGSIZE -gt 0 ]; then
RECD_SIZE=$(($RECD_SIZE+$SEGSIZE+1))
fi

done
DIFF=$(($RECD_SIZE-$CFG_TOTAL))
echo $RECD_SIZE:$CFG_TOTAL:$DIFF
Next create the Metric Extension

1. Create the metric extension in the Enterprise Manager Console
Enterprise-->Monitoring-->Metric Extensions
Select the create button-->Metric Extension
2. On the General Properties Screen set the following
Target type select "Host"

Name "huge_page_monitoring"
Display Name "Huge Page Monitoring"
Adapter "OS Command - Multiple Columns"
Data Collection "Enabled"
Repeat Every "12 Hours"
Use of Metric Data "Alerting and Historical Trending"
Upload Interval "1 Collections"
Select the Next Button
3. On the Adapter" page enter the following
Command '\/bin\/ksh'
Select the upload button by the Script text box and upload the file created in step 1
Delimiter ":"
Select the upload button and select the file created in step 1
13/02/2016
Select the Next button
4. On the "Create New : Columns" page Use the Add-->New metric column button create three
columns with the add button
Column one should be setup as:

Name "Recommended_Value"
Display Name "Recommended_Value"
Column Type "Data Column"
Value Type "Number"
Metric Category "Capacity"
Column two should be setup as:

Name "Configured_Value"
Display Name "Configured Value"
Value Type "Number"
Comparison Operator ">"
Critical "0"
Column three should be setup as:

Name "Huge_Page_Shortage"
Display Name "Configured Value"
Value Type "Number"
Comparison Operator ">"
13/02/2016
Critical "0"
After Setting up the three columns select the next button

5. On The Credentials Screen
Select the Default Monitoring Credentials radio button

Click the next button
6. On the Create New : Test page
Add a target to test with in the Test Targets section

Click the Run Test button and ensure that results are displayed properly in the Test
Results box.
The results should be similar to below
Target Name Recommended Value Configured Value Huge Page Shortage
Targetname 31745 36000 0
Click the Finish button
7. Next the Metric Extension must be saved as a deployable draft. This is accomplished on the
main metric extension page. This allows the metric to be deployed to targets for testing. However
at this stage only the developer has access to publish the metric. After satisfactory testing is
completed the metric is then published. This is once again accomplished from the main metric
extension page.
8. Once testing is complete and the Metric extension is deployable. It can be deployed to targets.
This is accomplished from the metric extension page
Highlight the metric extension just created. From the Actions drop down box select Deploy to
Targets

To ensure that administrators are notified in the event the

metric created fails an incident rule should be created.

select Metric Alert". Click the next button
7. Select the Add button

On the Add conditional Actions page you can specify conditions that must occur for the action
to apply, if an incident should be created and email notifications. Specify the desired properties
and select the continue button.
8. On the Target Type drop down select Host

Select the search button and select the metric extension created above
Select the check box next to the desired metric
Select the desired severity status in the check boxes at the bottom of the screen
Click the OK button
