system memory...

[Michael Bowler]

I have been asked by a colleague if I know how much memory is on one of our Unix boxes. It is one I am not familiar with, so does anyone know how I can find out what the memory size is?

Regards,

Michael.

Hi,

If your dmesg is not full :

dmesg | grep Physical

Hi there.
Either with glance trial software or the support tools ( xstm / cstm ).

Thanks for those suggestions, but neither of them work. The grep returns nothing, glance trial has expired and the other xstm/cstm do not exist.

Regards,

Michael.

Try the followig for memory in MBs:

for 10.20
echo "physmem/D"| adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem | tail -1 | awk '{print $2/256}'

for 11.00
echo "phys_mem_pages/D"| adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem | tail -1 | awk '{print $2/256}'

Try :

top

or

vmstat

The easiest way is to use SAM. You will find the memoryconfiguration and some other usefull stuff under sam -> Performance Monitors -> System Properties.

You can also use /usr/sam/lbin/getmem on the commandline. But i've seen this tool report 56 MB RAM when there have been 1 GB RAM.

Hope this helps. Stefan

LOL, okay other options :
grep Physical /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
(or OLDsyslog.log)


/usr/sam/lbin/getmem

or a little C-prog

good luck,
Thierry.

There are a lot of ways, for example:
For 10.20:
echo "physmem/D"| adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem | tail -1 | awk '{print $2/256}'

For 11.00
echo "phys_mem_pages/D"| adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem | tail -1 | awk '{print $2/256}'

cat /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log |grep Phy
