How to find Total and Free Physical Memory and Logical Memory in SOLARIS 9

0ktalmagik · #1 (**permalink**) 06-07-2006

Hi,

Im working on Solaris 9 on SPARC-32 bit running on an Ultra-80, and I have to find out the following:-

1. Total Physical Memory in the system(total RAM).
2. Available Physical Memory(i.e. RAM Usage)

3. Total (Logical) Memory in the system
4. Available (Logical) Memory.

I know vmstat is not the answer here.. Please advise what i should look into.

Thanks

Try prtdiag and swap commands.

prtconf | grep "Memory"

check Total physical memory:

# prtdiag -v | grep Memory

# prtconf | grep Memory

---

check Free physical Memory:

# top (if available)

# sar -r 5 10
Free Memory=freemen*8 (pagesize=8k)

# vmstat 5 10
Free Memory = free

---

For swap:

# swap -s
# swap -l
