Greetings fellow admins,
I have a question about needing more memory.
I am running Tru64 4.0d and I have currently 128 MB of memory and 512 mb
of swap space and I am not sure if I need more or if I can get by on
what we have.
I know about the utilities vmstat and iostat but not really sure how to
read them. Where would I look for answers?? I am scheduling my server
down time on a sunday for a hard drive addition and thought that it
would be good to have down time that would have multiple improvemnents
instead of multiple downtimes.
I have ran sys_check and it says vm-ubcseqpercent, vm-mapentries, and
vm=vpagemax are off but I don't know enough on how to change or if the
memory will be better to install now or wait.
How about future upgrades of OS? etc? I talked to our programer and she
said that she can't compile with a new version of cobol because it gets
memory dumps and pagefaults.
Someone point me in the right direction to find out what is going on. I
would very much appreciate it.
