VM guest memory pressure normal base line
Hi
hpux 11.31
hpvm 4.3
We upgraded the vm memory allocation on vmguest2 in this case from 16 - 32 gb, pre upgrade the memory pressure was baselined at 80 and spiked up to 96, now post upgrade it seems to have settled at the same. What classed as normal memory pressure for an active vm?

Another quick question, does filecache_max take all of the assigned memory on boot and then reduce to the filecache_cache min setting as memory usage increases?
Thanks in advance

Re: VM guest memory pressure normal base line
'Normal' usage memory pressure value is 0.
You need to check the memory usage in the guest OS. Glance, kmeminfo, ...
filecache starts from min value and grows as needed only, not from the max down.

Re: VM guest memory pressure normal base line
This is really only about what's happening inside the guest OS. Unrelated to the host completely.
