How is Memory Utilization calculated in SUN Solaris server?

Memory Calculation

We run the below command to check if the SUN server is a zone-supported server: 

/usr/bin/prstat -n 1 -Z 1 1 2> /dev/null|grep -v "PID"|grep -v "Total:"

 If the command gives the proper output then we conclude that the server is Zone supported and we find the Memory Utilization by using it.

Here is a Sample Output :
79 daemon     15M 5428K sleep   59    0   0:36:51 0.0% kcfd/4
ZONEID    NPROC  SWAP   RSS MEMORY      TIME  CPU ZONE
0       66  514M  201M   1.1%   1:59:44 0.0% global

Physical Memory Utilization (MB) : 201M

 

Physical Memory Utilization (%) :  1.1%


where,

Physical Memory utilization (MB) = (Line 3, Token 4) = 201MB

Physical Memory utilization (%) = (Line 3, Token 5) = 1.1%


If the command output not meet our criteria we conclude that the server is normal SUN Solaris server and we use the following way to find the memory Utilization:
/usr/sbin/swap -l|awk '{TOT+=$4} {FREE+=$5} END {print "total: "TOT " used: " TOT-FREE}';/usr/sbin/prtconf|grep Memory;vmstat 1 3;kstat zfs:0:arcstats:size | grep size|tr -s ' ' ''|tr -s '\t' '^'


Here is a Sample Output :

Physical Memory Utilization (MB) : (((Total Physical Memory * 1024 *1024) - ((Free Physical Memory * 1024) + ZFSCache)) / (1024 * 1024)))

 

Physical Memory Utilization (%) :  Physical Memory Utilization (MB) * 100 / Total Physical Memory

where,

                Total Physical Memory = (Line 2, Token 3) = 16372 (MB)

                Free Physical Memory = (Line 7, Token 5) = 14580824 (KB)

                ZFSCache = (Line 8, Token 2) = 979216592 (Bytes)

       

Swap Memory Utilization (in MB) : Used Swap Memory / (2*1024)

 

Swap Memory Utilization (%) : (Swap Memory Utilization (MB) * 100) / (Total Swap Memory / (2*1024))

where,

               Total Swap Memory = (Line 1, Token 2) = 4194296 (512 bit block)

               Used Swap Memory = (Line 1, Token 4) = 0 (512 bit block)
