I am new to AIX, Can someone please help me how to know the swap space, total physical memory and system cache?
man pages will tell you that - the commands necessary to find it out, that is.
for instance, will list the following:
Now try man lsps and you will soon be guided to lsps -a, which displays everything you probably want to know about your swap(s):
To get the attributes of a device - like the memory - you sue the "lsattr" utility in AIX. Here is one of my systems (AME factor 1.2):
What you do mean with "system cache" is not clear. If you want to know the current amount of memory dedicated to the file cache issue vmstat -v and look for the "numperm" value. This is the percentage of real memory used for file caching right now. The value may change any time.
If you want to use more about how and why this value changes i suggest you search this forum for "memory utilization", but i can wholeheartedly suggest this thread as a starter. If you have specific questions, just check back.
