AIX memory usage by processes
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.
I tried using svmon, ps and topas to investigate the memory usage and finally i found at server A the processes which run at Paging Space and how much (MB) they use.
Although i cannot find which processes need that much memory 40% in server A (comparing A-75% and B-35%) and cause this issue.
Could you please help me?
If you need any output etc, just text me or pm... thank you in advance.

Hi Guys,
I wonder what would be the best way to determine how much memory is in use on any given time by the database processes. I thought about using ipcs -m command but I wonder if there any better way to determine this. Thanks.
