RE: Swap Leak on Solaris 9 and a posting from last year by Grzegorz Goryszewski

The real culprit is that root.sh we all run when installing and patching...  

From the root.sh on my test install of 10.1.0.5 (around line 452):  

OCRCONFIG=$OCRCONFIGDIR/ocr.loc
OCRLOC=$ORACLE_HOME/cdata/localhost/local.ocr INIT_CSS=TRUE
INIT_OCR=FALSE   Just change the INIT_CSS to FALSE after the installer prompts you to run the root.sh, but before you execute it, and CSS will not get started or installed in the /etc/init.d | /etc/rc3.d directories to start at boot. Don't forget that this needs to be done when installing any DBMS patch that has a root.sh too - not just on the original install.    

10.2 seems to not install CSS unless it needs it (using ASM or RAC as noted before), which is nicer.

Yes, isn't ocssd installed and run automagically regardless of whether you use cluster services? Is it not desirable if you do not use it to stop it, and prevent it from running?  

Wondering.
