Hi all
Got myself in a pickle here, chasing my own tail and am confused. Im trying to work out memory / swap on my solaris 10 server, that Im using zones on.
Server A has 32Gb of raw memory, ZFS across the root /mirror drives.
# prtdiag -v | grep mem = Memory size: 32768 Megabytes
# sar -r 11 shows
09:44:23 freemem freeswap
09:44:24 435917 12672432
Freemem ( pages ) x 4 / 1024 /1024 = 1Gb. However, I was expecting to see 32Gb ??? The server isnt being used, i.e. nothing running at the moment e.g.
# vmstat 1 10
kthr memory page disk faults cpu

# swap -s
total: 828456k bytes allocated + 162592k reserved = 991048k used, 6336824k available

If I go onto another server, Server B, a 6800 chassis runing solaris 10, with 16GB of Physical memory, no ZFS.
# sar -r 1 1
09:52:04 freemem freeswap
09:52:05 1850157 42102320
1850157 *4/1024/1024 = 7Gb
# swap -s
total: 595800k bytes allocated + 319040k reserved = 914840k used, 21040344k available
Im totally confused. Can someone give me a quick guide /tip to working out memory / swap and how to calculate what is being used / free ?
