Free memory in top and prstat command
Hi Export,
i execute 'top' command to show the free memory in Solaris host, but the read is much lower than the RSS value shown in prstat command. Which one can reflect the real status and it is possible the
difference caused by any patch of OS?
Top command (only 883 memory is free)
---------------------
load averages: 2.10, 2.00, 2.13; up 28+22:08:02
265 processes: 262 sleeping, 3 on cpu
CPU states: 69.6% idle, 14.3% user, 16.1% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap
Memory: 16G phys mem, 883M free mem, 30G total swap, 30G free swap
Prstat (4G memory used )
