Some diagnostic tools (like prstat for example) are summing (incorrectly) the shared memory for every process attached to it.
So probably you have more free memory - use sar (-r) or vmstat (free) to check the memory usage.

Hi all,
Without oracle tunning I understand that oracle processes always run on a single CPU at a time (the prstat output always show 1 CPU number) even on multi-processor hardware.
Is it correct?

Hi,
I'm running a multi-process software system on a Solaris 8 machine. When I monitor the memory usage, I see that the free memory is dropping rapidly, but I can't detect a process that uses this memory.
I'm using "top" to get the free memory and the memory usage of processes.
Thanks. (3 Replies)

NAME
free - Display amount of free and used memory in the system
SYNOPSIS
free [-b|-k|-m|-g] [-c count] [-l] [-o] [-t] [-s delay] [-V]
DESCRIPTION
free displays the total amount of free and used physical and swap memory in the system, as well as the buffers used by the kernel. The
shared memory column should be ignored; it is obsolete.
OPTIONS
-b Display the amount of memory in bytes.
-c count
Display the result count times. Requires the -s option.
-g Display the amount of memory in gigabytes.
-k Display the amount of memory in kilobytes. This is the default.
-l Show detailed low and high memory statistics.
-m Display the amount of memory in megabytes.
-o Display the output in old format, the only difference being this option will disable the display of the "buffer adjusted" line.
-s Continuously display the result delay seconds apart. You may actually specify any floating point number for delay, usleep(3) is used
for microsecond resolution delay times.
-t Display a line showing the column totals.
-V Display version information.
