swapinfo, dmesg can tell you the RAM size. You can even see through sam or by using adb..

Depending on your OS version as which options is best for you.

HP-UX 10x

# echo physmem/D | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
physmem:
physmem: 24576

for HP-UX 11.x systems running on 32 bit architecture:
example:

# echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
phys_mem_pages:
phys_mem_pages: 24576

for HP-UX 11.x systems running on 64 bit architecture:
example:

# echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb64 -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
phys_mem_pages:
phys_mem_pages: 262144

The results of these commands are in memory pages, multiply by 4096
to obtain the size in bytes.

hi,

you will also get a detailed report in glance (option: m - Memory Report)

You can also get the the processes sorted by size of core image using the attached psram.sh script!
# Usage:
# psram [ quantity ]
#
# where quantity is the top RAM processes to show (default is 20)
#

hope this helps!

Best regards

Please try this
# echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog"|cstm > /tmp/meminfo
# vi /tmp/meminfo

You can get more detail RAM info about hardware, such as memory board inventory.
