Memory problems on a -sunfire T2000
I work with a network management tool, which, for various reasons, is installed on a solaris server.This is a Sunfire T2000 server with 16 CPUs and 8GB of RAM. I have installed a Solaris 10 ZFS and 8GB swap. From the beginning I had problems with memory occupation that it rises progressively to 95% of the 8GB, no swapping, no cpu problems. When I run a top command, I see that sum of these processes is less than 2 gb. Do you have any idea where I can find the 6GB I missing?
