system memory distribution

Equipe systeme GHM — Thu, 05 Dec 2002 14:17:32 GMT

In glance we see the distribution between the memory system, user, free and buffer. But how to know how the memory system is really used? Indeed I have a machine which uses 1,7G of memory only for the system part, and I would like to reduce this part if possible.

Hi

look at
dbc_max_pct and bufpages in the kernel
plus swapmem_on

Buffer caching in memory visible with swapinfo -at

For the moment I have the following distribution:

Sys Mem : 1.68gb
User Mem: 1.77gb
Buf Cache: 409.6mb
Free Mem: 146.3mb

And it is for the "Sys mem" part I wish to know the detail.

You may use the kmeminfo tool. You can get it with PHCO_26075 (11.00), PHCO_28067 (11.11) or PHCO_28066 (11.22).

Watch out for /usr/contrib/Q4/bin/kmeminfo.

Best regards...
Dietmar.
