free swap on HPUX

[Amith_2]

I would like to know the command used to find out the free swap space in the server.

I am expecting the following outputs for the command;

freeswap memory and total swap memory

Hi,

# swapinfo -tam

You could use vmstat which is quite confusing, but either glance or swapinfo should do it.

# /opt/perf/bin/glance -m

or

# swapinfo -tam

[T G Manikandan]

#swapinfo -ta

this should give the information about swap space.

One thing to note is that the reserve column which tells you the amount of Kb reserved in swap but not used.

Any process that is to execute in memory would reserve swap.

man swapinfo for more info.

Hi There,
I think this should be sufficient:
# swapinfo -tam
