Hi Vernon,

swap -l does not include swap space in the form of physical memory (RAM), but swap -s does. Look at swap(1M) man page for details.

Hobbit uses swap -s to report values for the memory column. The Swap "Total" column sums "used" and "available" values, thus (2335424k + 8006816k)/1024 = 10100M.

Note taht the top utility for Solaris 10 also uses swap -l to report memory statistics.

Hi all

Can anybody shed any light on this possible bug? On my solaris system, I run swap -l and I get

swap -l

swapfile dev swaplo blocks free /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/swapvol 286,3002 16 16780208 16780208 16780208 blocks = 8Gb

An extract from vxprint shows v swapvol swap ENABLED 16780224 - ACTIVE - - pl swapvol-01 swapvol ENABLED 16780224 - ACTIVE - - Again, 8Gb.

However, Hobbit server reports Memory Used Total Percentage Physical 7675M 8064M 95% Swap 1928M 10139M 19%

Where does it get 10Gb of swap from?

If I run swap -s, I get

swap -s

total: 1832936k bytes allocated + 502488k reserved = 2335424k used, 8006816k available Regards Vernon
