Is there any way of finding the root-cause of this paging?<BR /><BR />That is, pages from many processes may be paged out but only because of one or more rogue processes demanding buffers. Is there any way to identify...<BR />a) those processes having their pages paged out?<BR />b) the process(s) demanding free pages causing a) ?<BR /><BR />Thank-you<BR />Dan Fri, 20 Jun 2003 23:59:50 GMT Dan_173 2003-06-20T23:59:50Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/identifying-the-source-of-pagouts/m-p/3003914#M914622 <BR />The VMSTAT po value is telling me that my host is paging fairly substantially.

As far as the processes that are using RAM currently, a quick method is:<BR /><BR />UNIX95= ps -eo "flags,vsz,pid,args"|sort -rnk1,2 | more<BR /><BR />This sorts processes according to the ps flags column, then by the amount of RAM used. See the man page for flag meanings. NOTE: you may be paging due to memory mapped files, not processes being deactivated and paged out.
