分析:
   1. 发现alert.log 发现很多ORA-27301: OS failure message: Not enough space 以为是 磁盘空间不足, 检查磁盘发现没有满.
   2. 检查trace.log , 发现是process PSP0 启动不了,  process-spawner (PSP0): spawns Oracle processes , 为oracle主要后台进程.
   3. crs_stat -t  发现 数据库实例1已经down 掉,各个rac1资源已经offline..说明PSP0已经启动不了. 由此可知 ORA-27301: OS failure message: Not enough space 可能是由于系统内存不足的原因.
   4. metalink 查询. Doc ID:  Note:560309.1
      正是由于ram/swap 不足导致, 建议设置.
      RAM                              SWAP
      1GB to 2GB                   1.5 times RAM
      > 2GB and <= 8GB             1 times RAM
      > 8GB                      .75 times RAM
     而当前aix 系统的ram:8G, swap: 4G 可知远小于需要设置的swap.
   5. 查到原因 ,修改就很简单了. 利用smitty chps 修改系统的swap 即可. 然后利用 lsps -a 或者topas 查看swap .
   6. 系统运行3.4个月一直很正常,修改swap 以后需要继续观察.

Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3
This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms
The database can not start up due to the following errors:

*** SERVICE NAME SYS$BACKGROUND) 2008-03-24 17:02:34.855
*** SESSION ID 1104.1) 2008-03-24 17:02:34.855
*** 2008-03-24 17:02:34.855
Process startup failed, error stack:

Process startup failed, error stack:

ORA-27301: OS failure message: Not enough space
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: skgpspawn3

Cause
This issue is mainly caused by lack of memory / swap. Checking the memory configuration on the server, we have found the following:

Total Physical Memory 38912 MB
Swap: Max Size 17664 MiB
So, RAM is 38 GB, SWAP space is only 17 GB

Solution
-We should increase the server swap space (paging space) . The general rule of thumb is that swap space should be:
RAM                              SWAP
1GB to 2GB                   1.5 times RAM
> 2GB and <= 8GB          1 times RAM
> 8GB                            .75 times RAM

So in our case, the recommended swap space is @28 GB .

We can also try to increase physical memory, if possible.

We should also check the ulimits for Oracle user.:
memory - unlimited
data       - unlimited
cpu        - unlimited
stack      - at least 32768
nofile      - OS dependent

We should also check memory parameters in the pfile/spfile that add more load to the memory consumption on the server.  In our issue, we found these settings which added more pressure to the memory:
-lock_sga=true
-large db_keep_cache_size=14000m.
