Memory usage in a Solaris Container

Hi All,

We have a server with Solaris 10 installed. The total memory of the server is 64GB. In order to check the memory info of the server I use "top" utility that gives me total and free memory in real-time.

I have also installed a Sun container (non-global zone) on top of parent operating system (global zone). Now in order to check the memory utilization I use the same "top" utility even here, but the output is something absurd.

So is there any way or a third party utility ( like top) that would give me total memory present and memory free/usage within the container.

Thanks....
