Operating Systems AIX How to find AIX Free Memory? Post 302663077 by bakunin on Wednesday 27th of June 2012 02:07:02 PM

If you search for "svmon" in this forum you'll find several tons of links. In about half of them the meaning of these values is explained.

So, there, for the umpteenth time:

"inuse" is what you have, minus what is unused ("free"). It is computational and cache memory added together. All these values are in units of memory pages, which is 4K in the overwhelming majority of cases.

Subtract "virtual" (=computational memory, that is: memory used by programs) from "inuse" to get the size of the cache. As a rule of thumb, as long as "virtual" is smaller than "inuse" times 0.9 (in other words progams use less than 90% of the memory) everything is OK, if it is higher you probably see paging activity in "vmstat".

I hope this helps.
