Hi Dennis,
Thansk for your reply,
I have given the swapinfo output,

swapinfo -tam
Mb Mb Mb PCT START/ Mb
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 20480 1494 18986 7% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
reserve - 2777 -2777
memory 5189 2189 3000 42%
total 25669 6460 19209 25% - 0

but that only gives idea about swap utilization.But I need the physical memory utilization?Pls help

Hi Lijeesh,

Welcome to ITRC forums... you are at right place.



If you really want to analyse which process/arenas are using memory and to check if there is a leak , you may log a case with HP.( if you have a valid support contract).
They will help you.

Apard from that , the below link will help you on this.
