I am trying to check how much memory is consumed by OS Kernel using below command, Is this the correct command that I'm using
According to this document this is not (quite) the correct command. To quote the linked explanation:
Quote:
Slab - The total amount of memory, in kilobytes, used by the kernel to cache data structures for its own use.
Note that "kernel" isn't a monolithic process. In fact the "kernel" consists of several processes, depending on how the system is configured, what it is doing, how much memory it has installed and perhaps a few other things. So it is difficult to point to one certain place and declare it to be the answer. The value you found is arguably part of the answer but if it is depends on what exactly the question is.
Can you tell us what exactly you want, so that maybe we can find some better solution?

Any idea how the same can be retrieved on an AIX host? This... (1 Reply)
