System Memory usage is too high in HPUX 11.23
I have a server running on HPUX 11.23 with a memory of 103 GB. In this server system memory usage is 18 GB. I am very much worried about this number in system memory area.
Can some one please help me out in understanding the problem. kmeminfo outout from the server is displayed below.

Re: System Memory usage is too high in HPUX 11.23
You have 15 gigs in the data buffer cache.
If you don't want all this memory in the dbc, change the kernel parameters(they are dinamyc):
dbc_max_pct
dbc_min_pct
something like 3% will give you 3 gigs of dbc in most cases more than enough, but it depends on your application behaviour

Windows?, no thanks

Re: System Memory usage is too high in HPUX 11.23
Hi Pradeep,
Your buffer cache is 15.4 gb. In reality you dont need such a huge buffer cache, buffer cache of 2-4 gb will be ok for you.
You can reduce the dynamic buffer cache by changing dbc_max_pct value.
# kctune dbc_max_pct=3
This will set your buffer cache to approx 3gb
