Hi megh101,

Running dmesg and looking for the value of physical, is probably the easiest method, or you could use top, or glance if installed.

Hai megh
If u want to know the physical memory installed in HP900/800, (HPUX 10.20) then there are 3 ways.

1. use /usr/sbin/dmesg | grep Physical
this will give the memory installed at the server.

2. use /usr/sam/lbin/getmem
This will give you the memory installed in MB

3. wc -c /dev/mem
this is a slow process, and gives the result in kb.

hope this helps u.

It is good to know and use the hp_ux utility : stm.
I like it. It is useful for dbas and system admins.

Some other methods:

# echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
(The results of these commands are in memory pages, multiply by 4096
to obtain the size in bytes)

/usr/sam/lbin/getmem

These only work if you are "root". You can write a very simple C program that manipulates the "pstat.h" library, and will work as any user.

go into SAM
Click on Performance Monitors
then System Properties
then the tab that says Memory
Hope this helps
