Showing memory

Kevin_107 — Mon, 14 Oct 2002 14:50:35 GMT

When showing memory via Sam it 53191 KB (Real Acitve) but does not show total. How can I show totally memory for my machine. Ive tried dmesg..but unable to show it due to f/s full messages.

Hi,

I like to use Glance. The system tables report will show you the total physical memory. I think the print_manifest script from Ignite will also give you those numbers.

Try this script:

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

Hello,

if you do not have glance use stm:

# cstm
> map
> sel dev ###
(enter the number for memory as ###)
> information
> infolog

Hi Kevin

You can use the attached c script to get o/p like this :

Memory Stat total used avail %used
physical 32764.0 8058.4 24705.6 25%
active virtual 531.3 128.9 402.4 24%
active real 597.0 136.0 461.0 23%
memory swap 26522.5 3738.2 22784.3 14%
device swap 2378.0 2365.5 12.5 99%

This script I got from the forums itslef and works good.

The easiest to remember is to run SAM and look at the system inventory under Performance -> System Properties. The physical memory is at the top of the listing. This inventory is quite good at getting an overview of your system.
