High memory usage in AIX 5.1
Hi,
We have AIX 5.1 machine of RAM 8 GB and paging space is 8GB. we are getting high memory usage of almost 99%.Can anybody please help in this ?
Partial vmstat o/p
kthr memory
----- -----------
r b avm fre
2 1 278727 1143
There is no paging issue.Becoz in vmstat output pi and po are always 0Should we need to increase the AVM (active virtual memory) or how to resolve this.
Regards,
Jayakumar

NAME
vzcalc - calculate resource usage of a container
SYNOPSIS
vzcalc [-v] CTID
DESCRIPTION
This utility displays the share of the host system resources a particular container is using. If the container is running, the current
usage is displayed. High utilization values (>100%) mean the system is overloaded (or the container has an invalid configuration).
Current
Shows the amount of the resources consumed by the container at a given time.
Promised
Shows the resources soft limit values "promised" for a given container.
Max Shows the resources hard limit values "promised" for a given container.
If the -v option is specified, the following additional information is also displayed:
Low Mem
The part of memory residing at lower addresses and directly accessed by the kernel (only makes sense for 32-bit architectures).
Total RAM
Total memory.
Mem+Swap
Amount of memory available for applications (both RAM and swap space).
Alloc Mem
Standard memory allocations made for applications in a container. This is a more "virtual" system resource than RAM or RAM and
swap.
Num. Proc
Number of processes.
OPTIONS
-v Display additional information.
EXIT STATUS
Normally, the exit status is 0. On error, the exit status is 1.
