Amount of Memory on the System

[Peter Maitland]

How can I found out how much memory I have on my server? Obviously I am very new to this! Can anybody help?

Hi, try dmesg | grep -i physical then take the value next to Physical: say it is 524288 and divide it by 1024. 524288 / 1024 would give you 512 which is 512 MB. Hope this helps.

Somehow I think you must have an HP9000 rather than an HP3000, but if your machine *were* an HP3000 the syntax would be:

:SYSDIAG
DUI>SYSMAP
ENTER MAP>MEMMAP

The number at the bottom of the screen is what you want.

Two of the easier ways :

1. dmesg | grep Phy , divide by 1024 to get answer in MB.

2. SAM --> performance monitor--->system properties . click on memory / CPU etc to know what you are looking for

If you have STM:echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog"|cstm

is there any way for a mere mortal (non-root) user can find out memory size? Sys admin is hiding somewhere ;)

Edit a script C with execution of dmesg,chmod 4501.
