Hello Managers

when I was engaged in getting stats for that server du 4.D , no patch -shows like this for vmstat -P.

it's quite surprsiing, I couldn't make out why? The physical mem in use is greater than the actual mem installed. and there is 2 "os" entries in Physical memory clusters which makes that 512MB difference between Physical memory installed and which is in use..also, it exceeds the number of pages..

The only info I have about this machine is, it was upgraded from 4.0B and 1Gb memory was added after the initial install. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
# vmstat -P

Total Physical Memory = 2048.00 M
                      = 262144 pages


Physical Memory Clusters:

 start_pfn end_pfn type size_pages / size_bytes
         0 256 pal 256 / 2.00M
       256 196608 os 196352 / 1534.00M
    262144 327675 os 65531 / 511.96M
    327675 327680 pal 5 / 40.00k

         Total Physical Memory Use: 327412 / 2557.91M

Managed Pages Break Down:

       free pages = 278
     active pages = 34509
   inactive pages = 67138
      wired pages = 39296
        ubc pages = 114439
        ==================
            Total = 255660

WIRED Pages Break Down:

   vm wired pages = 3520
  ubc wired pages = 21497
  meta data pages = 5890
     malloc pages = 4483
     contig pages = 324
    user ptepages = 3511
  kernel ptepages = 62
    free ptepages = 8
        ==================
            Total = 39295

============================
       
any guidance on this issue will be very much helpful for me in trackig down some of the vague problems in these server related to mem usage.

Thanks in Advance
