Hi Prasad,

You can find the physical memory using SAM.

SAM --> Performance Monitors --> System Properties --> Memory
Or else, use below command,

# dmesg | grep Physical

Hello,

dmesg.

and

glance -->m (for memory)

[Torsten.]

Try this:

echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm

[Sharma Sanjeev]

Hi

CSTM or dmesg | grep Physical will work

Hi,

echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

for 64 bit multiply it 4096 to see in bytes.

glance -m

Thanks all for their valuable support..

Here is the o/p i got the commands from above



1.only SAM has worked in my case..
2.dmesg | grep Physical didn't work
3.echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm gave the o/p

cstm>selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog
^-- (SelClass) is currently disabled. --



output of

4.# echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
Error from elf64_getehdr(application core file)
Not an Elf file: No Elf header
phys_mem_pages:
phys_mem_pages: 524288


O/p of glance -m

5.# glance -m

i am looking forward to know any single command like print_manifest which will give me the value of physical memory

Hi Prasad,

If dmesg | grep Physical is not working, try below command.
# grep Physical /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

[prasadb]

Hi vihang..

Thanks for the reply..but id doesn't work too..

[Vihang. · Accepted solution]

Hi Prasad,

Then I guess you would have to rely on Glance. Try changing your terminal to vt100 before running Glance.

# export TERM=vt100
# glance (Press M for memory details)

Vihang.

[prasadb]

hello vihang

your last solution worked for me..

but tell me what this command

export TERM=vt100 makes the difference as previously glance -m didn't work.

[Vihang.]

Hi Prasad,

The export TERM=vt100 commands sets you terminal to vt100. Glance will only work on certain types of terminals. Initially, it was giving error because your terminal was set to "ansi".

Vihang.

Why not just use pstat (that's one of the things it is there for, after all -- and then you should work on 11.0, 11.11, 11.23, 11.31, etc.).

Sample code attached, compiled on an 11.11 system with just "cc +DD32 -o phys_bytes phys_bytes.c". [You may have to find a machine with the ANSI C compiler to do this -- I don't think in pure K&R C anymore].

>SEP: swapinfo -tam Will display physical ...

Only an approximation, the 7/8 rule.

>Sanjeev: dmesg | grep Physical

This won't work if the system has been up for awhile.
