Recently I bumped up our main Oracle database to use 6 GB instead of 4 GB as vmstat output was showing I had over 5 GB free memory... After I completed that I noticed swap space dropped to about 60MB free but free memory didn't. I kind of assumed that the free memory would drop 2 GB but it stayed the same. I added a swap file of 1 gb and now swap free shows 900 MB.
Can anyone give me some detailed instructions on what I should be looking for in my vmstat output. I'm pretty new with Solaris admin.

Hello,
I'm seeing this problem with vmstat, where the first line of output always has the same CPU statistics. For example:

Hi,
Recently from the vmstat output in the image attached, the first line of the cpu idle column shows a value of 15. Although the subsequent values show higher than 90, is there a reason why the first value is so low?
Is this a problem?
Thanks. (4 Replies)
