Hi DukeNuke

#prtconf|grep Mem
Memory size: 16384 Megabytes

#prstat
i use prstat command the displayed me following information out of that fields the column name SIZE
it display the physical memory of the server utlised by the users process.

if i calculate the SIZE column for the all process values it coming around
11341 MB , it means 11GB physical memory space utilised by the processes at this moment. correct me if iam wrong

Waiting for your reply

Regards

please use "code" tags for better reading! and use "vmstat" for memory usage... prstat is something like "top" on linux systems...

Hi Dukenuke

you have not said anything about the SIZE column what should i think about that

Regards

you should read the manpage for prstat to see what the meaning of each column is...

also have a look here:

hi all
Solaris:9 version
any inputs from other users as i couldnot able to follow up the link.
i would like to know how much physical memory is in use ??

regards

An approximation of physical memory in use by the applications is given by the RSS column.
The SIZE column displays the virtual memory size.
