There is a abrupt memory rise observed for a process on solaris.
When the process is started the memory is around 268 MB and is stable for a day. Then suddenly the memory increased to 4364 MB.
Below is the pmap -xs output for the process (only for heap)
Can anyone please help me in understanding the reason of sudden allocation of heap as huge as 4190208 (4 GB). What is the significance of empty RSS and Anon as observed for adress space
I also observed a sudden rise in CPU utilization when the memory rise for the process. And after that CPU utilzation was normal.
Can this be linked to sudden memory rise !

Please use code tags next time for your code and data. Thanks
Trying to figure out what a process is doing just from how much memory it uses is like trying to figure out someone's personality via the bumps in their skull. It might be leaking memory if it's leaking memory, but might not be leaking memory if it's not. We really can't tell with this little information.
Hi,
This morning there was an app that caused a sudden spike in I/O and memory usage in the server. We found the reason for the I/O, however the memory spike was something new, as it had never happened before.
I figured out what caused the memory spike, however, how do I investigate why... (6 Replies)
Hi Experts,
Our servers running Solaris 10 with SAP Application. The memory utilization always >90%, but the process on SAP is too less even nothing.
Why memory utilization on solaris always looks high?

Can someone please help me with a script that will help in identifying the CPU & memory usage by a process name, rather than a process id.This is to primarily analyze the consumption of resources, for performance tweaking.

Hi
I have one Java application installed in my Solaris system. Is there a way to find out the heap memory allocated size/used size/free size for the particular Java process?
If anyone knows the command, please let me know. Even I appreciate if I have any scripts to find out the same.

Hello all,
I need a positive reply from you.
I want to copy the user-process-heap to the kernel space memory.
For that, I wrote the following code but it does not copy.

On AIX 5.3 host, the lvm_queryvg call does not work properly and results in a sudden memory rise. This is happening on one particular host and the call works fine on another host.
Is this a known issue and is there any patch available for this? (0 Replies)
Hello all
'top' command shows the top 15 processes in terms of CPU usage. Is there any other command in UNIX ,that will show the top processes in terms of memory usage ? or is there a command, that will give me the memory usage of a particular process ,if I pass the process id as a... (3 Replies)
