Can somebody please help here, since iam just a beginner.
According to my book knowledge.
the Avalilable memory calculated by swap -l (includes only swap) should be small as compared to swap -s value(includes Virtual memory=swap +physical).
but this is quite opposite in my case.
here free swap calculated from swap -l command is 95 whereas by swap -s its just 67.
Please suggest me here.

Yes i have calucated the Available memory in swap -l by considering 1 byte =512 blocks but still the Available memory calulation exceeds in swap -l rather than swap -s.
I wanted to know the available swap and available virtual memory and not the total.
150 is the total available virtual memory, the available is ~ 65 which is less than the available swap memory which is ~ 100, which should not be the case.
sorry if iam being silly. could you please explain more here.
All your allocated memory (~43 GB) is fitting in RAM (you should tell how much RAM you have and how it is used) so your swap area is currently completely free (no pages are stored there). However, a part of RAM+SWAP is reserved (~34 GB) to guarantee future potential use (Solaris doesn't overcommit memory unlike Linux and others). The reserved memory explains the discrepancy.
Hi Solaris Folks :),
I need to calculate the swap usage on solaris server, please let me understand the output of below swap -s and swap -l commands.
$swap -s
total: 1774912k bytes allocated + 240616k reserved = 2015528k used, 14542512k available
$swap -l

Hi
I have an integrity machine rx7620 and rx8640 running hp-ux 11.31. I'm planning to fine tune the system:
- I would like to know when does the memory swap space spill over to the device swap space?
- And how much % of memory swap utilization should be specified (swap space device... (6 Replies)
free -m : 1023 total swap space
created default partition /dev/sdb1 50M using fdisk. i did write the changes.
#mkswap /dev/sdb1
#swapon /dev/sdb1
free -m : 1078 total swap space
this shows that the swap is on
Question : i did not change the type LINUX SWAP (82) in fdisk.
so why is... (5 Replies)
I have a HP-UX B.11.23 server with 16 gb of memory 84 gb of swap configured. I am being pushed to define more swap to try and get more Tuxedo domains to start. At what point do we have too much swap for the amount of memory? Thanks in advance. (11 Replies)
Hello and thanks in advance.
I have a Sun box with raid 1 on the O/S disks using solaris svm.
I want to unmirror my swap partition, and add the slice on the second disk as an additional swap device. This would give me twice as much swap space.
I have been warned not to do this by some... (3 Replies)
So with solaris 10 are people not using the old /tmp as a regular UFS filesystem and making /tmp part of swap or tmpfs... what are peoples thoughts on this? (5 Replies)
When i re-updated my system i set my swap at 500 MB. I have 256 in ram and have never even gone into the 250 mb of swap that i had originally configured. How do I reduce the swap? (3 Replies)
