Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> A Solaris question on memory usage
Good day,
I am looking at how Oracle and other applications running on a Solaris 2.6 server are using memory. The server has 512 MB of RAM. I issued the "/usr/proc/bin/pmap $pid" command to display memory usage info and used the figure from the "total KB" line of the output (the last line of the output). When I add up the figures for all Oracle processes the sum of the Private areas for all Oracle processes on teh system is 1.5 GB. I do not understand this. How can this be greater than the physical RAM amount (which is 512 MB)? As I understand the Private amount is the Resident amount less the Shared amount, so the Private amount for a process would be the physical memory amount used exclusive by the process and not shared with other processes.
If you could help me to understand more about this stuff, very much appreciate.
I am trying to see if we need to up the RAM on the system.
Thanks
Long
