Re: memory allocated to OS-----hp-ux 11.23

Bear in mind that this is a nebelous value as the value varies constantly especially with dynamic buffer cache but this should give you some ideas (if you have Glance installed):

1) Create a syntax file, /home/me/myfile.syn

print "Date and Time: ", gbl_statdate, " ", gbl_stattime
print "gbl_mem_sys_and_cache_util: ", gbl_mem_sys_and_cache_util
print "mem_util: ", gbl_mem_util
print "gbl_mem_avail: ",gbl_mem_avail
print "gbl_mem_phys : ",gbl_mem_phys

2) Now execute glance
glance -advisor_only -j 3 -iterations 4 -syntax /home/me/myfile.syn

Look in /var/opt/perf/reptall for all the available metrics
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
