Here is a quick-and-dirty first estimation of a possible memory shortage:
Issue "svmon -G" and compare the numbers marked bold in the following example:
The memory is measured in 4k-pages here. The ~1.5 millions means 6GB real memory therefore. Then compare the "inuse" number with the "virtual" number and if the "virtual" number is significantly higher the difference is about the memory you are lacking. i.e 1.5 mio "inuse" versus 2 mio "virtual" means you need to add about 500k x 4k ~= 2GB memory.
Again, this is only a QUICK and ROUGH estimation, not an in-depth analysis. Such an analysis might well reveal a different number.
Another place to look is "vmstat -v", especially for machines with a high I/O-workload. Have a look at the lines marked bold in the following example:
These are totals therefore repeat that command every minute or so and observe the change in these numbers. If they grow at a very fast rate the system has not enough memory to spare for buffered disk-I/O. Probably you will notice a very bad filesystem performance because of this. Usually this is due to a very constrained memory situation and while you might somewhat deescalate the situation by some tuning you will probably need more memory to solve tis problem.

When reading man pages, I notice that sometimes commands are follwed by a number enclosed in parenthesis. such as:
mkdir calls the mkdir(2) system call.
What exactly does this mean? (4 Replies)
okay.. have monitored that the page out/h max and avg have been 0 for one week. is this possible...? huge applications will have swap space being utilised ... so i am suprised that for one whole week, it has actually been zero
please advise

Hi all.
A friend of mine just recently gave me an old RISC 6000 machine to learn on for my AIX certification. I installed AIX 4.3.3 and everything seems to work fine, except there are no man pages. Is there a way to generate man pages on this machine?
Thanks alot in advance. (5 Replies)
Hi,
I am new to linux. I am using more command to view the contents of a file. If the file has many pages i am using f to move forward to the next page.
But when i press f it skips to two pages instead of one page. i checked the man more.
It shows the default is 1. Please share your... (1 Reply)

Can anyone supply me with the man pages for:
omnidatalist
omnibarlist
omnisap.exe
I prefer the source man pages in nroff format.
A clue about the software bundles which supply these man pages is fine as well.

Hi & good day UNIX / Linux folks,
Some of my > 700 pages don't have this counter:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter"-->
How would one use find (?!) to know which pages _don't have_ this counter, or - alternatively - which don't have the string:
exec cgi (=bec. probably easier, "exec\... (9 Replies)

perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language
DESCRIPTION
The perl software is unsupported software that is provided as part of Tru64 UNIX. Compaq will fix problems in this unsupported software
only if they are specific to Tru64 UNIX. Compaq will not fix problems that are integral to the software itself or that occur when the com-
ponent is used on UNIX systems other than Tru64 UNIX. Compaq will not add functionality to this software.
Except for this reference page, other reference pages that Tru64 UNIX supplies for perl are passed through without changes. The reference
pages distributed as part of this software are available in the directories /usr/share/doclib/annex/man/man[1-9]. You should use this
directory stem in the man command or add it to the MANPATH environment variable to make these files available to the man command.
Note
Compaq is not responsible for the content or quality of reference pages and other documents installed under the /usr/share/doclib/annex
directory and does not revise this material in response to customer problem reports. Reference pages installed under the
/usr/share/doclib/annex/man directory are not available from Compaq in book form; for example, they are not included in the reference manu-
als that you receive when you order the Tru64 UNIX documentation set as hard copy books.
Problems related to the content or quality of any documentation installed in the /usr/share/doclib/annex directory tree should be sent to
the developers of the documentation.
The format for changing the search path with the man command is: man -P /usr/share/doclib/annex/man [section] title...
If you are using the Bourne, Korn, or POSIX shells, use the following command sequence to modify your environment: MANPATH=$MAN-
PATH:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man export MANPATH
If you are using the C shell, enter the command: setenv MANPATH `echo $MANPATH`:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man
See the reference pages for the man(1) command for additional information on the search path used to locate files.
The reference pages associated with this product are not included in the whatis data base created by the catman command. Therefore, the
man -k and apropos commands will not locate reference pages included with this product.
