Before VM, free memory was gold, but in VM it is an accident of exiting programs. RAM may be unfreed but instantly available, mapped but unmodified relative to the backing disk. You need more RAM if you cannot tune the apps and data to run with what you have fast enough. VM apps with dynamic libs share RAM, for instance. A reduces variety of apps on a system releases memory. If the apps on a specific server work on a subset of all data, that reduces RAM churn.

Hi,
I have a server (BL460c) with 32G of physical RAM.
It currently only uses approx 5% its capacity but will use more (not sure how much more) pending the launch of further applications.
If I need to build another node of similar functionality should I consider downgrading the physical... (2 Replies)

Hello,
in one default UFS filesystem we have 8K block size (bsize) and 1K fragmentsize (fsize). At this scenary I thought all "FileSytem IO" will be 8K (or greater) but never smaller than the fragment size (1K). If a UFS fragment/blocksize is allwasy several ADJACENTS sectors on disk (in a ... (4 Replies)

talagent
TALAGENT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TALAGENT(8)
NAME
talagent -- helper agent for the Transparent App Lifecycle feature.
SYNOPSIS
talagent [command [arguments]]
DESCRIPTION
The talagent daemon provides services related to the Transparent App Lifecycle feature. talagent may also be run manually as a command line
tool to output information about persistent state.
The options are as follows:
-help
Outputs usage information.
-dump bundle_id_fragment
Outputs the persistent state of an application whose bundle ID contains the given fragment, case insensitive ("textedit" for example).
You may also pass a path directly to the app's persistent state directory, usually in ~/Library/Saved Application State.
-launch bundle_id
This launches an app (in this case, TextEdit) in a manner approximating how apps get launched at login. You can pass either a bundle ID
fragment or a path to an app. The app is maintained stopped until you hit return in the launching window (or until it receives SIGCONT).
This is the easiest way to test the login scenario without needing to log in.
-casinfo [ASN]
With no arguments, outputs summary information about all apps. With one argument (an ASN), outputs the CAS record for that app.
-memory_pressure
Simulates memory pressure, which may cause apps that support automatic termination to exit. This does not actually allocate any memory.
-refresh_encryption
Rotates the bitmap encryption key, and attempts to cross-encrypt all existing window bitmaps under the new key. This is done periodically
by talagent.
