Operating Systems Solaris Explain the output of swap -s and swap -l Post 302916745 by MadeInGermany on Thursday 11th of September 2014 05:42:13 PM

swap -s is confusing because it displays swapped KB plus swappable RAM KB.
According to swap -l, nothing is swapped out; the 20972720 blocks/2 = 10486360 KB = 10 GB are free.

sg_get_page_stats(3)					     Library Functions Manual					      sg_get_page_stats(3)

NAME
sg_get_page_stats, sg_get_page_stats_diff - get paging statistics SYNOPSIS
#include <statgrab.h> sg_page_stats *sg_get_page_stats(void); sg_page_stats *sg_get_page_stats_diff(void); DESCRIPTION
sg_get_page_stats and sg_get_page_stats_diff both return a pointer to a static buffer of type sg_page_stats. sg_get_page_stats will return the number of pages the system has paged in and out since bootup. sg_get_page_stats_diff will return the difference since last time it was called. If it has not been called before, it will return sg_get_page_stats. RETURN VALUES
typedef struct{ long long pages_pagein; long long pages_pageout; time_t systime; }sg_page_stats; pages_pagein The number of pages swapped into memory. pages_pageout The number of pages swapped out of memory (to swap). systime The time period over which pages_pagein and pages_pageout were transferred. BUGS
Solaris doesn't seem to report accurately. It reports the number of pages swapped into memory, not necessarily from swap. This feature isn't deemed entirely reliable. SEE ALSO
