I have some questions regarding the performance, MEMORY/ Virtual Memory (paging /swap space)
Please see the nmon-MEMORY stats from my AIX LPAR.
Question 1)
I see that MEMORY is utilized around 98% all the time. and no paging activity. Is this normal? do i need to react ?
Note: this LPAR has very lite application, system is idle most of the time. But still RAM --> 98% used
Question 2)
As per my understanding,
LPAR will consume entire MEMORY, even if we allocate 50 GB RAM (in my case) to this LPAR. I believe...mostly for filesystem caching. And system will release memory from filesystem caching when ever there is a need for process.
is this correct ? please correct me if i'm wrong
question 3) what is the RAM to Paging space ratio on prod systems ??
I think i read some where....that Paging space should be atleast 3/4 of RAM. Please advice.

Hi, i have 2 identical web servers using AIX. I use nmon analyser to check their performance.
The server A exceeds 20% memory usage for system, 5% for cache and the rest 75% for processes. While, it uses 4% of Paging Space.
The server B exceeds 20% for system, 45% for cache and 35% for processes.... (24 Replies)
