how to stress the memory
Hi All,

Is there way to stress memory on Solaris 10? If yes, how do I monitor the memory usage?

you can monitor the memeory usage using top command in solaris

" Memory: 32G real, 15G free, 11G swap in use, 18G swap free " look out for this line and it can give you this information.

"top" is not in solaris by default but you can use "prstat" or "vmstat" to watch your memory.

SUNVTS is a good tool to stress test a server. Usually before the system is thrown into production
