[SunHELP] Running out of swap when real memory is available

[Naresh Narang]

Hi there,

	Thanks for your response. Let me put my question in a different way.

	I have 8 G memory available on the box, why Solaris 10 does not want to use
more than 4 G.

Regards,
--Naresh

Hi

I'm not a specialist, below what I have understood
Because Solaris uses real memory to swap when memory is available
you can see this with swap command

Loem%swap -l
swapfile             dev  swaplo blocks   free
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1   32,25     16 4090800 4090800
Loem%swap -s
total: 451352k bytes allocated + 19488k reserved = 470840k used, 3031744k
available

-----> remark  3Gb available

Hope this helps
R Occelli
