That depends on what definition of swap you take. When swaps means virtual memory like in the statistics posted, it does.Not necessarily. The rule is there must be enough virtual memory for all reservation to fit. The amount of memory needed is not related to the amount of RAM installed but is related to the number of applications and their requirements.
So in other words, my remaining physical memory and swap is spoken for. It may never be used, but it's spoken for.
Well, normally when heavy swapping starts to occur, vmstat will show high numbers in vmstat under the "sr" or scan reads column. Ours is 0 across the board.
Also, "top" shows 8GB of swap as "free". and "swap -l" shows everything but 62MB as free. I'm assuming top and swap -l are showing similar values, but it's odd that both would show that swap is almost untouched.

Here is our output from "top" at the time of one of the occurances.

Hi,
I am not sure how many scripts / java processes running on my HP-UX server.
I need to calculate the total heap of these processes.
I then need to recommend increasing the swap memory to be increase and equal to total heap if that is the right concept.
Currently we are facing... (2 Replies)
hi guys, me again ;)

We are talking about 22mio of files.
