Memory check

[M. Tariq Ayub]

Hi,

How can i check what is the physical memory of my HP9000 system. OS is 11i

[twang]

# dmesg |grep -i physical

[Michael Tully]

Here's a simple way from the command line:

echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | cstm

or

echo phys_mem_pages/D | adb64 -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
Multiply the output by 4 to get the number.

Hi,

Check the syslog file. There is a line that states the amount of physical memory just after the line stating "Memory Information"

Cheers!

Hi,

I have 6 server. In 4 of them i can see the memory using dmesg |grep -i physical but with two rp8400 it shows nothing. There are a lot of other message there.

You can only get it from 'dmesg' if it is still in the message buffer. You can of course flush the dmesg buffer and place it in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log anyway.
The amount of memory can be found in the syslog.log from the system boot if it (syslog.log) hasn't been flattened.

main()
{
struct pst_static pst1;
struct pst_dynamic pst2;

if (pstat_getstatic(&pst1, sizeof(pst1), (size_t)1, 0) != -1)
printf( "Physical Memory is %ld MB\n", pst1.physical_memory * 4 / 1024 );
else
perror("pstat_getstatic");

}


Above C code can get your physical mem, you may take a try.

Hi,
One more way
run
/usr/sam/lbin/getmem

That will tell you memory in MB

grep Phys /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

[twang]

If "dmesg |grep -i physical" fails to show memory info, try to have a look at syslog.log:

# grep -i "physical page size" /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Hi,

Try swapinfo -m
Then you see both physical and swap.

Hi,
I think "swapinfo -m" show not exactly the physical memory!
The Ignite-UX tool "print_manifest" work fine!

Hello!

Run this:

echo "phys_mem_pages/D" | adb64 /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem | grep "phys_mem_pages: *." | awk '{printf "%.0f MB\n",$2/256}'
