Monitoring Free memory in solaris 8

Hi,
I will like to monitor the amount of free memory in my system. I understand that as Solaris 8 implements "cyclical page cache", the value read from the "free list" column of vmstat will be much more accurate than previous version.
But when i run it on my sparc, the value is 50208KB.
But when i run Memtool 3.8.2, these are the values
Total memory:119Mb
Kernel memory:10Mb
Application:52Mb
Exe and lib :15Mb
File Cache: 33Mb
Free, file cache : 3Mb
Free, free :3 Mb
(33 + 3 + 3) =>39Mb
Can someone tell me how to reconcile the values from this 2 tools? Which is more accurate? (or is there a better method?)
Thanks!

if you're reading this it would be @&$%#&$( useful to folks in this list to actually BE ABLE TO REFER TO KNOWN SUN BUGS and to be able to report their own.
I couldn't log in to the sunsolve site - do I need a special password to be able to view bug status? (I agree I can find patches there, but
not being able to view/report bugs as a user under the free license program is ridiculous).
How can we get resolution on this?

  • Regfree() doesn't free memory in Solaris 8

    Here's a 21-line program that demonstrates the prolbem, which is a memory
    leak in the regcomp()/regfree() routines. This works without
    problem in Solaris 7 (and Linux and BSDi for that matter):
    <p>
    <pre>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <regex.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
    regex_t re;
    int errcode;
    char buf[256];
    for (;;) {
    errcode = regcomp(&re, "X", 0);
    if (errcode != 0) {
    regerror(errcode, &re, buf, sizeof(buf));
    printf("regcomp() error:'%s'\n", buf);
    return 1;
    regfree(&re);
    </pre>
    <p>
    This will use 100 Mbyte or so every few seconds on Solaris. Maybe I missed
    a fix in a patch, but a search for regcomp or regfree returned nothing.
    <p>
    I've worked around this in our application, but my boss thought it would be
    a good idea to submit a bug report. Sun's FAQ says to report bugs in the
    forum, so here it is. This isn't an Intel issue (at least, I've only
    tested it on Sparc), but there isn't a generic developer forum, and the
    webmaster at Sun said to post it here.

  • In OSX Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory

    In OS X Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory. My daughters 2Gb MacBook Pro is very slow, it probably needs more memory but there is almost 1Gb of 'inactive' memory but no 'free' memory when an application is opened.
    Thanks

    Free RAM is the one that has not been used by any application since you started up your Mac, and inactive RAM is the one that was used by an application and it is not in use anymore.
    1 GB of inactive RAM is a lot, and it may be the cause of the slowness. There are a lot of apps that allows you to turn inactive into free RAM. I use FreeMemory, but have a look at the Mac App Store.
    If you are a developer, you can do that with a command you can type into Terminal:
    sudo purge

  • Solaris 10 - VMSTAT free memory behavior puzzling

    I am running a rather complex and large application on a Sun v215 (2 UltraSPARC IIIi 1.5 ghz with 16 GB RAM).
    When I start the application up vmstat reports about 95% free memory but over time (7 days) the free memory reported by 'vmstat 60' decreases at a steady rate until it appears to level out around 80% free memory. I do not have any memory leaks in the application. The application is a combination of Java and C code. There is a fare amount of I/O but nothing overwhelming. Is there an explaination for the decrease and leveling out of the free memory over this time period?

    Thanks! That is what I was thinking but I wanted someone to validate my theory. Do you have any technical reference(s) (i.e. article, book, webpage) that backups the statement "If a Solaris system have a lot of free memory, Solaris will start to cache filesystem pages to the memory until the memory is used about 80-90%."?
    Any technical reference will help me make my case with our customer much easier. Thank you once again for your help.
    As followup note: I re-ran some tests with vmstat -p and there is quite a bit of file system paging occuring. I do have many file-page-ins. However I would not expect the file-page-out and file-page-free to be as high as they are if free memory continues to decrease to 80%.

  • Is there a way to free up memory in Solaris

    Hi,
    I am wondering if there is a way to free up memory in Solaris manually ? the way we can do it in Linux for example :
    [xml]echo `/bin/date` "************* Memory Info Before *************"
    free -m
    sync
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    echo `/bin/date` "************* Memory Info After *************"
    free -m[xml]
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have two Solaris 11 VMs with Oracle Clusterware running on VBox, both of them with 4GiB RAM, problem is they get slower and slower and then all of a suden one of them gets crashed, it happens so frequently that I just cannot work, increasing RAM is out of question, previously I was running the same setup on Oracle Linux 5 and I was able to tweak the memory using the above script and never got a crash.
    I need to find a way to tune the memory in solaris so the VMs can stay up and I can do the work.
    Here are the mem stats from one of the server, this will give you an idea as to whats happening and you may be able to suggest me a way to tune them.
    Just to let you know I am very new in Solaris so every bit of information will be very helpful to get this problem resolved.
    echo ::memstat | mdb -k

  • How to reset free memory to the highest

    I sometimes restart Tiger to reset the "Free" memory (RAM) higher.
    Is there a way to reset this without restarting?
    I have 768 MB DDR SDRAM 1/4 of which is used once restarted. After a while of use, it never gets back to a 1/4. With no user apps open it can be as high as half used (My human memory seems to think it is near 1/2). So I restart to claim back the 1/4. Is there another way to clean out the processes that are using up resources?
    ALSO
    If I use widgets, they not only take up memory, but seem to use CPU resources as do other applications. I clean all this by restarting. I can quit all widgets to clean that out without a restart, but clearly other things claim resources. If I burn a movie DVD and another process calls to the computer, there can be for an instant a surge on available resources. I do not mean something I activate during the burn, I mean hands off but some process which is less likely if I am burning just after a restart vs after much computer use. I am assuming it delays the feed to the recording DVD which given the burning process, clocks steady and at one speed, different than the CPU and computer resources which can compensate clocking during a process. So a restart seems to minimize bad burns. It sure seems I get no bad burns if I burn after a restart. That most occurred with burns on computer time many hours and other usage past the restart.
    Is there a way to reset all or close at least the most aggressive activity, to basic without a restart? I realize there are many things that build-up though I know not all. RAM, Cache, monitoring activity, -=-any know a list of all the types of activity called to play after a good bit of computer use, different than a fresh restart?

    10.4 is even better with on the fly exchange, virtual memory is the same. Only the "specialty" apps are accessing any type of memory management/control and they are developed at the kernel level. You'll know which one's fall into this category as they put a very big strain on your wallet. Most seem to be working fine. A 3D CAD modeling program I am familiar with is absolutely incredible yet on the same machine running Apple's own universal apps choking and sputtering. It is not Universal but Intel native and even the previous and current PPC release run great under Rosetta, it also requires a USB security device just to open the application.
    Restarting is working but it shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. The reason why it is is that apps and HW are not releasing resources properly i.e other apps, files, HD's, ports, CPU's, GPU's, keyboards, track-pads etc (even after they quit) this type of resource sharing is a new thing for them. The restart is simply releasing the resources from everything. Well almost everything, FW devices as well as partitioned internal HD's seem to misbehave, slowing things down or hanging, during startup and shutting down. A common way people are finding to force their computers to see certain USB and FW devices is to plug them in prior to startup and/or launching of any apps that may want to use such devices. However, this is not a reliable fix for devices that want to launch, control or be controlled by apps. i.e. video cameras, Maxtor OneTouch HD's etc. An all new system architecture in 10.4. I believe the majority of issue with HW and SW and the incredible number of kernel panics people are experiencing across HW configurations (G4-Intel) is that there is and error in the I/O kit at the kernel level.
    One thing I see that is needed to tame this beast for USB and FW devices to work properly is a System Pref such as CD's and DVD's. When you connect a FW camera: When you connect a FW Video Device: When you connect a FW MIDI Device: When You Connect a FW HD: etc. with the same exact answers like Ask what to do, Open App, Ignore, Open finder, Run script etc. A system pref like this I believe would even help smoke out the popping kernel in a heartbeat.
    People should not be looking for lists of supported equipment rather a very small list of "unsupported" devices. AFAICT any device or external piece of equipment that conforms to industry standards should work regardless if the manufacturer developed "drivers" for it or not.
    I have waited for an OS like this from Apple for about 10 years. No longer had the need for it 2 or so years ago and stopped having to know what's going on. Had to get back into it in March 06 as installation of 10.4 on a G4 brought it to it's knees w/ HW frying all over the place apps not working correctly, kernel panics galore. Updated to MBP and problems are worse.
    Another thing I'd like to mention is that it appears that my MBP 2.16, has already become a LEGACY PRODUCT (obsolete). G5 64 bit, ICD 32(-!?), ICD2 64 bit.
    If their is anyone out there that can confirm this I would appreciate it. My .Mac account expires in a few hours so I will not be able to reply here, email or chat but will respond to a board you direct me to that allows anonymous/guest posts.
    I am very curious about what a newer MacBook and a G5 computer says in the System Preferences>Processors. Mainly interested in MacBooks with ICD2 and G5's but am also curious about supported late model PB G4's w Core Image support and 64+ MB VRAM.
    Your machine.
    What is the processor? i.e Intel Pentium M Processor
    Core Freq:
    Bus Freq:
    L1 Cache:
    L2 Cache:
    Processors:(max number)
    A lot of the kernel panics being posted are all referring to HW devices primarily CPU's and GPU's and other very basic internal HW. It seems the cross architecture is getting garbled in this I/O kit. Errors in the kernel aren't usually that easy to find but I think if enough people express their concerns this one may find a quick resolution as it seems to occur close to the exchange.
    Thanks

  • System is hanging. fseventsd brings free memory down from 2.5 GB to 5 MB within minutes

    I'm a computer novice, no technical knowledge whatsoever.. need your help
    I use an Intel iMac,  4 GB RAM running on 10.6.8 for over a year without any glitches
    2 days ago, noticed that the HD space was reducing rapidly from startup..
    Activity monitor showed that fseventsd [and to and extent kernel_task] was using all the free memory and then the virtual memory was being used, system hanging within a few minutes of login
    The same happens with the other user account and the guest account.. But works fine in safe mode. Windows XP through bootcamp works fine.
    Unable to run any program long enough to obtain any results as the system hangs in no time
    I ran disk utility and verified and repaired lot of differing permissions [Lot of SUID warnings could not be repaired] .  Disk seems to be fine
    Not sure these are related:
    -2 days prior to this , many .mp4 files, which I had downloaded from Youtube were  vanishing [and sometimes reappearing, but not for long] from a folder on my Seagate ext HDD
    -Couple of days prior to that, Vuze  [which uses the same seagate HDD] was making the system hang, requiring a forced shutdown
    -From a week prior to all this, Picasa was asking for update, but could not be updated

  • Memory gates checking failed because the free memory is less than 5% of total memory

    ·         Business
    Goal: Achieve a stable environment

    Steps: n/a

    Results: Over the weekend, the memory hit critical mass and CRM failed

    I'm currently experiencing a memory leak in our production environment. I will fill out the details shortly.

    We just recently increased the available memory from 8GB to 24GB to help ensure that there is enough memory. This error never happened on CRM v4. According to the resource monitor, SQL is only reserving 20.7GB of RAM and there is 694MB of RAM in Standby.
    The main Async service is using 660MB and the maintenance Async service is using 265MB.
    To resolve the issue temporarily, I restarted both Async services this morning. Shortly after everything came back, they were holding fairly steady around 350MB and 200MB. It's been six hours since then.
    The last time I spoke with Microsoft about a similar problem, they suggested increasing the amount of RAM.

    It became more and more of a problem. It was impacting the users in a more subtle way at first. You couldn't configure the CRM for Outlook client. After a while, they couldn't use CRM in Outlook at all and users reporting not being able to complete phone
    call activities. I opened a ticket with MS and they suggested the same as Wilson Lou did. The organization error had nothing to do with the creep on the async services usage of RAM. It was indeed caused by SQL stealing all of the memory. Limiting the max usage
    to 24GB RAM has resolved that error. 
    My Async processes are still using a LOT of RAM, but now that I have more than enough RAM, it doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. They are currently using about 700MB RAM each.
    Also, I have upgraded to SP1, UR2.

  • Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError although enough free memory left

    hi there,
    i am facing a strange problem. i get a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError although my gc monitoring (wily introscope) shows that there is enough free memory left.
    so my question is what can lead to a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. is it possible that a full generation space can lead to an OutOfMemory? I thought that in this case the garbarge collector would move live objects to the next generation?
    my settings are:
    - JVM 1.4.2
    -XX:NewSize=64m
    -XX:MaxNewSize=64m
    -XX:SurvivorRatio=12
    -Xms=1024m
    -Xmx=1024m

    Maybe you are running out of perm space?
    Try
    -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

  • Replication agent doesn´t free memory after expensive operation

    Our environment is made up of master node and 17 subscriber.
    We have issued a delete action implying 1000000 rows. During the deletion, normal CPU, memory and swap usage was observed. Later, CPU usage has recovered while memory and swap has not. The most memory consumming process was timestenrep with 9Gb.
    Deletion has been correctly replicated to all nodes. However, the replication agent needed to be restarted manually in order to recover memory/swap.
    Why the replication agent did not recover on its own and free memory?

    In a replicated environment, executing very large transactions (such as deleting 1M rows in a single transaction) is a very hazardous thing to do and is something you should avoid at all costs. It can cause a number of serious problems. Transactions should be limited to no more than a few thousand operations. If you need to empty a table, use TRUNCATE instead. This will execute far more quickly, generate less log and will not cause problems for replication. If you cannot use TRUNCATE then you should break the DELETE up into multiple smaller transactions. For example if you wish to delete all row where 'startdate' is less than some value and this is likely to result in a large number of deletions then you could repeatedly execute the following sequence:
    DELETE FIRST 1000 FROM sometable WHERE startdate < :someval;
    COMMIT;
    and just keep doing this until the 'rows affected' value is zero.
    The same applies to large inserts and updates.
    The memory usage behaviour of the replication daemon, while perhaps not ideal, is correct and as expected. When you delete 1M rows in a single transaction the replication daemon has to allocate memory (via malloc) for 17x copies (in your case) of the transaction data. That is probably a lot of memory. Once the transaction has been replicated to all 17 subscribers. This memory is moved to an internal 'free' list for re-use but is not returned to the O/S until the replication agent is terminated. Since it such a bad idea to execute these large transactions this behaviour is generally not a problem.
