How to decrease "Free (freelist)" memory and allow the ARC cache to use it?

Hello,
I have a solaris express server that will be primarily used for storage. As such cache usage maximization is important. It appears however that a big chunk of the memory is not been consumed, and remains "Free Free". There must be a tunable to allow this memory to be consumed, and grow the Arc Cache.
Currently it shows (via arc_summary.pl and arcstat.pl) that it's however arround 39GB. It won't grow beyond that point. Here's memstat
root@storage1:~# mdb -k

  • Not enough space to install Mavericks-how do I free up space and continue the install? Help!

    I tried to install Mavericks but shortly after the installation initialized I got a message saying that I didn't have enough space to complete the install.  It asked to free up just under 1 MB of space...but I cannot get access to my hard drive.  When the computer turns on, it loads the OS X utilities screen with the following options
    1 Windows
    2 OS X INstaller
    3 Recovery
    So, I cannot access the MAC HD to free up space or complete the install.  I am stressing that I am going to lose all of my data on my hard drive! Please help!
    P.S We have boot camp and that works fine but cannot gain access to the MAC drive.

    OPTION boot to select your OS X partition:
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    If you have no OS X volume showing, then you are in deep doo-doo. You will need to erase the OS X volume and reinstall OS X. This would be done from the Recovery HD which you said was an available boot option.
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How to Create a default domain and deploy the application in jdeveloper  using a script or code (not manually)

    Hi ,
    I have installed Jdev   using silent installation .
    Now I have some  apps already created I want to create a default domain and then deploy apps into that through ant or any script?
    Can anyone help me on this?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Vivek Pemawat

    We still don't know what you want to archive with here.
    Cvele_new_account got you a pointer on how to install the DefaultDomain.
    Tip: if you want to know or see the exact command line jdev uses to install the DefaultDomain, open jdev and in the application server navigator right click on hte integrated server and select configure DefualtDomain. In the log window you see the command line with all parameters.

  • How to continuous​ly do AOAI and buffer the data for later use?

    Is there a way to do simultaneous AI and AO and keep the data in the buffer until I am finished with reading, then read the buffer and save the data to disc. I want to acquire 1000 scans on up to 10 chanels at 10 000 Scans/s, while generating one output signal.
    I have seen plenty of continuous AIAO examples, but all they do is show the data. I don't mind not viewing the data, all I want is to hold it for later analysis, while avoiding writing to disc as I fear this will slow the process too much. Or would a different approach than simultaneous AIAO be more appropriate?
    I am using LabView 6.1 with 6024E DAQ card on a P-IV 1.5GHz.

    Use this vi MainProg.vi in the llb
    i use a same engine to acquire at 2 MS/s and generate at 3 MS/s

  • How to Print a PDF file and Close the ACrobat Reader opened using WEBUTIL

    Hi All,
    I have used WEBUTIL successfully and printed files using webutil_host.nonblocking builtin. What happens is that after printing the file the Acrobat reader stays on the desktop of the client PC. How to close that file opened programmatically. I am unable to close it using any any commands or using following builtins from WEBUTIL.
      WEBUTIL_HOST.RELEASE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID)
      WEBUTIL_HOST.TERMINATE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID);My command to directly call the Acrobat reader file and print it is by using this command.
      M_STR_COMMAND    := 'cmd.exe /c start AcroRd32.exe /t '||CHR(34)||FILE_STR_PATH||'\'||FILE_NAME||CHR(34)||' '||CHR(34)||PRINTER_NAME||CHR(34);Help in this regard is much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

  • I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

    I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

    iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process.  25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
    To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
    Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

  • How do i move apps that i am npt using to the card for storage and will this free up memory and space on my ipad II

    I have an Ipad II and I have a storage disc inserted on it.  I have numerous apps but am not using many of them at this time. 
    1. How do I move those I want to store on the disc to the disc and
    2. If I do, will it free up memory and/or space on my device?
    3.  And lastly, how would I move them back if needed?  I really need to free up some space.

    Use computer iTunes to sync what you need onto your iPad.

  • How do you free up memory?

    How do you free up memory on an iPad?  My iPad won't open any application until I free up memory.

    Carolyn, I don't think you are correct. System memory will run out much sooner than storage space. I also seek to free system memory on my iPad since apps run much more reliably when I clear out any other resident programs from the background.
    Of great personal concern is the fact that Apple has apparently barred system information utilities from offering "memory clear" buttons. I really despise having to go into Springboard and manually delete apps one by one. And, if the rumors are correct, then I despise the App Store policies even more.
    Usually, when I have to kill background apps, it's because I need system memory cleared RIGHT NOW. Instead of barring Clear buttons outright, why not issue guidelines on which processes are considered vital, thus leaving them intact in case of Clear?

    You can't do it from OOTB. 
    _layout folder is accessible to the users if they have read access in any of the site even subsite.
    You can modify *.aspx file, add your custom control which will check user.

  • The amount of free SGA memory available in the database

    Hi,
    How can we calculate the amount of free SGA memory available from the instance if the database is not set for Memory management.If the sga_max_size is set for a particular value and the db_cache_size and the shared_pool and all other components are specified,how can one determine whether all the memory allocated for SGA is in use?

    How can we calculate the amount of free SGA memory available from the instance if the database is not set for Memory management.When the SGA is allocated, the memory is fixed, and none of it is "free" really.
    how can one determine whether all the memory allocated for SGA is in use? Are you asking about usage WITHIN the pools? If so, shortly after startup the database buffer and shared_pool will fill-up and stay full . . . . .
    Here is the script that I use to see inside the data buffer contents:
    set pages 999
    set lines 80
    spool blocks.lst
    ttitle 'Contents of Data Buffers'
    drop table t1;
    create table t1 as
    select
    o.object_name object_name,
    o.object_type object_type,
    count(1) num_blocks
    from
    dba_objects o,
    v$bh bh
    where
    o.object_id = bh.objd
    and
    o.owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM')
    group by
    o.object_name,
    o.object_type
    order by
    count(1) desc
    column c1 heading "Object|Name" format a30
    column c2 heading "Object|Type" format a12
    column c3 heading "Number of|Blocks" format 999,999,999,999
    column c4 heading "Percentage|of object|data blocks|in Buffer" format 999
    select
    object_name c1,
    object_type c2,
    num_blocks c3,
    (num_blocks/decode(sum(blocks), 0, .001, sum(blocks)))*100 c4
    from
    t1,
    dba_segments s
    where
    s.segment_name = t1.object_name
    and

  • Display some constant in the input field and allow the user to change it.

    Dear All,
    I have a requirement in WDA to display inputfield with some constant initially and allow
    the user to change that value according to his wish.Currently I am using UI Element
    InputField for this,but I am not able to show the constant initially.
    How can I achieve this pls suggest.
    Thanks,
    Reddy.

    Hi sudhir,
    To display with default values, you need to write your code in wddointi method.
    Check this code..
    * navigate from <CONTEXT> to <INPUT> via lead selection
      lo_nd_input = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_input ).
    * get element via lead selection
      lo_el_input = lo_nd_input->get_element( ).
      lv_ship_point = '1001'.
    * set single attribute
      lo_el_input->set_attribute(
        name  =  `SHIP_POINT`
        value = lv_ship_point ).  // Now ship_point have initial value 1001.
    Cheers,
    Kris.
