You might also take a look at this: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zvm/v5r3/topic/com.ibm.zvm.v53.hcpb8/hcsi1b2161.htm and (in linux) the vmstat command. I also find it very useful when reading the man page for a particular command to check out the "see also" section. Several different commands will give you different views.

The Linux view is through the "free" command, and "cat /proc/swaps" for the detailed data. But be aware that virtualization plays tricks there. For CPU as well as for memory. You can't really tell much from Linux internal data without having the VM data with it.
