Understanding Virtual Memory in HPUX
I need your help to understand this thing better. According to my understanding, Virtual Memory = RAM + SWAP.
1. What is Active Virtual Memory"? ( I got that term from a measureware report file ) If this just means "Active VM in use", then why do I see an actve vm usage of less than 30%, when my swap is @ 100%?
How do I find out the free virtual memory in my HPUX system for the last 10 days? I have measureware running, and I know how to export data from the logs, so it would be helpful if some one could help me which parameter in the report file I should be looking for.
Thanks and Regards,
Anoop

Re: Understanding Virtual Memory in HPUX
You can view all memory related statistics with sam,
sam -> performance monitor -> system properties -> memory

Re: Understanding Virtual Memory in HPUX
You can get details with measureware only. I don't know about that. If you have vmstat auditing with files then you can also use it.
Wait for experts on measureware.

Re: Understanding Virtual Memory in HPUX
I already have measureware running in the system. It'd be great if some one could tell me which parameters should I select in the template file, to get the free virtual memory, from the measureware logs.
Thanks!
