Find memory used and free memory on HP-UX 2

[dbadmin]

Hi,

How could you find the used memory and free memory on HP-UX? Is it vmstat? or top. The values shown by these commands are different. I am confused.

Thanks,
dbadmin

Hi,

SAM will give you the information. SAM -> Performance Monitors -> System Properties.

cheers,

If i remember rightly vmstat shows you the memory in 4K pages so some small arithmetic is required

 

[kozlow]

dmesg | awk '/Physical:/ && /Kbytes/ {print $2}'
or
getconf KERNEL_BITS
64
echo "phys_mem_pages/D" | adb64 /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
