Operating Systems Solaris How the free memory threshold? Post 303016551 by jlliagre on Saturday 28th of April 2018 08:23:50 PM

In addition to what hicksd8 wrote, you should be aware that different tools might have a different idea about what free memory means. You should also state what Solaris version/update you are running.

I never use top under Solaris and I would suggest you to use
Code:
echo ::memstat | mdb -k

to get a better idea about your RAM usage.

In any case, consider unused RAM is wasted RAM.

NAME
adb - general-purpose debugger SYNOPSIS
adb [-kw] [-I dir] [-P prompt] [-V mode] [ object [ core]] DESCRIPTION
The adb utility is an interactive, general-purpose debugger. It can be used to examine files and provides a controlled environment for the execution of programs. The adb utility is now implemented as a link to the mdb(1) utility in Solaris 9. mdb(1) is a low-level debugging utility that can be used to examine user processes as well as the live operating system or operating system crash dumps. The new mdb(1) utility provides complete backwards compatibility with the existing syntax and features of adb, including support for processing adb macro files. The Solaris Modular Debugger Guide and mdb(1) man page describes the features of mdb, including its adb compatibility mode. This mode will be activated by default when the adb link is executed.
