Explanation of File Cache entry in prtmem

Dears,

I use memtool to check the memory usage within a server, it runs Solaris 2.6; unfortunately memtool does not have a binary for SunOS 2.6 sparcv7. So I am a bit helpless in determining where exactlt the memory dedicated to File Cache has gone. Note that the server runs a relational data base with huge tables' sizes.

I have the following question,

1- Does the file Cache entry in prtmem means the number of cached database tables in memory?

2- Is there a command to display the cache usage?

Regards,

NAME
ncad_addr - name of the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA) socket utility library SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ncad_addr.so DESCRIPTION
ncad_addr.so is the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA) socket utility library. Use this library with a web server to avoid support for the PF_NCA family type socket. The web server can take advantage of NCA functionality. Interpose the ncad_addr interfaces before the interfaces in libsocket by setting the environment variable LD_PRELOAD to ncad_addr.so so that it is preloaded before libsocket.so.1. The ncad_addr.so interfaces will be interposed only if NCA is enabled. See ncakmod(1). EXAMPLES
Example 1: Interposing ncad_addr Using Bourne shell syntax as an example, set LD_PRELOAD as shown below to interpose the ncad_addr socket utility libary: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/ncad_addr.so /usr/bin/httpd FILES
/usr/lib/ncad_addr.so ncad_addr socket utility library shared object ATTRIBUTES

nca(1), ncab2clf(1), ncakmod(1), socket(3SOCKET), nca.if(4), ncakmod.conf(4), attributes(5) NOTES
Only applications that use the NCA feature, for example, web servers, should interpose this library. SunOS 5.10 18 Feb 2003 ncad_addr(4)
