Checking disk space and memory

VIRENDER SINGH_1 — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 14:35:14 GMT

Hi,

I am working as a oracle dba (Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1 with rac) and using HP-UX 11i os.

If someone can tell me how to check space and memory. and please if someone can give me docs so that i can increase my knowledge on os from oracle dba's point of view.

disk space usage
df -k
bdf

Memory
dmesg
vmstat ( convert from pages x 4096 )

If Glance is installed then all metrics are available in char or gui interface with either "glance" or "gpm"

If you are a DBA, then you can use Oracle Grid to get what you want...

Disk Space
bdf, du -sk /somedir

Memory, I use a c program called memdetail (you can compile with the built in HP-UX compiler) - output like so:

# memdetail
Memory Stat total used avail %used
physical 49122.0 48670.9 451.1 99%
active virtual 43226.9 42808.7 418.1 99%
active real 41972.5 41749.0 223.4 99%
device swap 53856.0 42646.7 11209.3 79%
