Run sam and select:

-->Performance Monitors
---->System Properties
------>tab to Memory

or just run the program:

print_manifest

Hi,

Any other commands to show the exact memory details.

If the server is romote server,iam not able to use the SAM,that time is there any commands to check the exact memory.

Pls give the full details.

Hi (again):

If your server is of the Itanium class, simply use:

# machinfo

SAM runs just fine as a remote program. Are you saying that you cannot login as root? If so, then you will have to run the print_manifest or the cstm command as an ordinary user.

print_manifest

or

echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | cstm

Both will produce a lot of details so you have to filter them with grep:

print_manifest | grep -i main.memory

or

echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | cstm | grep -i total.physical

Hi Unixguy,

>>How to check the exact physical memory in

<<

dmesg | grep -i Phyical Memory

do you have Glance "installed" You can check using that

step1:- glance
Once the glance screen appears"
type m
(will show you extact Phyical memory)

Thanks,
Johnson

Hi

Use ;

machinfo|grep Memory

Re: Physical Memory

Jeeshan — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 08:20:12 GMT

in PA-RISC machine

#print_manifest|grep Memory

in IA(Itanium) machine

#machinfo|grep Memory

Hi (again):

Simply do:

# uname -m

The output for Itanium will be "ia64".

The output for PA-RISC processors will be something like "9000/800". THe "9000" is the HP9000 series of UNIX machines.

Try this (as root):

HPUX=/stand/vmunix
MAJORREV=$(uname -r | cut -f2 -d .)
if [ $MAJORREV -ge "11.0" ]
then
MYSYMBOL="phys_mem_pages"
else
MYSYMBOL="physmem"
fi

MYMEM=$(echo "${MYSYMBOL}/D" \
| adb $HPUX /dev/kmem \
| grep "${MYSYMBOL}: *." \
| awk '{printf "%.0f MB\n",$2/256}')
echo $MYMEM

Aparrt from the above answers, you could also use

cat /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log| grep Physical

Hi Sekar,
# To get RAM size in KB
perl -e 'local($PSTAT,$PSTAT_STATIC,$mem_info,$PSTAT_STRUCT)=(239,2,"\0"x120,"LI4L");
syscall($PSTAT,$PSTAT_STATIC,$mem_info,length($mem_info),1,0);
print "RAM=".int((unpack($PSTAT_STRUCT,$mem_info))[4]*((unpack($PSTAT_STRUCT,$mem_info))[5])/(1024*1024))."\n";'

HTH,

Hi Sekar,

I think, the memconf-utility fits for you. It selects the type of host by itself. Look here:
