prstat RSS memory
Hi everyone,
was hoping someone might be able to help me understand what I am seeing on one of our solaris systems.
prstat -s size -a is showing user oradba as being top virtual memory consumption.
639 oradba 3012G 2951G 100% 59:44:01 25%
why is it saying 3012G size and 2951G RSS size when there is only 28672 Megabytes of totoal memory installed in the system ?
thanks
