prstat memory display on Solaris 10

  • From: "Binh Pham" <binhpham15@xxxxxxxxxxx>
  • To: "'Oracle-L'" <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 12:59:29 -0700

When I issue the command "prstat -a", the memory displayed is not
explainable.  May be someone can help me with this.

 

We know that the server has only 32Gigs of real memory and 20 Gigs of swap
space.  Why does it display "oracle" is using 924G of memory?

 

Thanks.
