I regret that I am unable to hack into your servers and my crystal ball is in for servicing. Can you post some meaningful output illustrating why you think you have a problem?
It is usual for Unix/Linux servers of all flavours to keep their memory full, i.e. cached of anything they have used, just in case it can be re-used without having to wait for disk IO. Are you seeing paging space used? The output from lsps -a would show you this sort of thing. It is extreeeeemly unlikely that the two servers will have done exactly the same thing.
The output from vmstat 5 should also have a few columns about paging in & out counts.
If your server is not using paging space, then you don't generally have a memory problem. What is making you concerned?
Thanks, in advance,
Robin

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.

Is this normal ?

munlock
MUNLOCK(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MUNLOCK(2)
NAME
munlock - reenable paging for some parts of memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
int munlock(const void *addr, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
munlock reenables paging for the memory in the range starting at addr with length len bytes. All pages which contain a part of the speci-
fied memory range can after calling munlock be moved to external swap space again by the kernel.
Memory locks do not stack, i.e., pages which have been locked several times by calls to mlock or mlockall will be unlocked by a single call
to munlock for the corresponding range or by munlockall. Pages which are mapped to several locations or by several processes stay locked
into RAM as long as they are locked at least at one location or by at least one process.
On POSIX systems on which mlock and munlock are available, _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE is defined in <unistd.h> and the value PAGESIZE from <lim-
its.h> indicates the number of bytes per page.
RETURN VALUE
On success, munlock returns zero. On error, -1 is returned, errno is set appropriately, and no changes are made to any locks in the
address space of the process.
ERRORS
ENOMEM Some of the specified address range does not correspond to mapped pages in the address space of the process.
EINVAL len was not a positive number.
