Dear All

Please help, we have RX6600 Server with 64 GB Memory and that server used for oracle database.
I beliave the server used more than 20 GB Memory usage for Oracle. The question is, why Memory Usage in swapinfo just used 16%?

Hi Dharma,

memory line in swapinfo output does not show physical memory usage but shows pseudo swap usage, which is not actually memory usage but just indicates the swap reservation by pseudo swap.

You may learn more about swap usage and pseudo swap, you may refer article emr_na-c01083061 "HP-UX 11.x Operating Environments - The Facts about Swap Space, Including a Definition of Pseudo Swap".

To measure memory usage on HP-UX, you may use glance.

Oracle uses shared memory which will be the large chunk you are looking for. Use ipcs to find all the shared memory segments:

# ipcs -bmop

For easier to read values for memory usage and program details, run the (optional product) glance.
