ps -l will give the size in pages. The size of a page in bytes is given by pagesize.

Does anybody know how I can see how much memory each process is using under Solaris. On Digital UNIX it was ps -aux, if I remember correctly...
 
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Chris.
 
I'm a bit ashamed, being as old as I am, that I don't have a better grasp on swapping. I initially thought maybe it was a swap problem also, but top shows 0.0% swap. I thought I had also checked vmstat earlier, but yikes:

Do the pi (page in) and po (page out) statistics represent swapping?!
 
 
Thanks again,

paging and swapping is the first thing that comes to mind, look at vmstat.
 
I think your question is completely on topic.

Hi there,
 
I have a Sun e4500, running Solaris 2.7 and Oracle 8.1.7.1.0. Everything looks normal from a database perspective, but when I run "top" it show the kernel being very hog-like:
 
load averages: 14.38, 15.18, 15.18                                     07:16:21
126 processes: 118 sleeping, 4 running, 4 on cpu
CPU states:  0.6% idle, 26.6% user, 72.8% kernel,  0.0% iowait,  0.0% swap
Memory: 4096M real, 63M free, 216M swap in use, 5310M swap free

11292 oracle     1  26    2 2008K 1424K run     0:00  0.19% dsql
 
Any ideas on what I, as a lowly DBA, would be able to check? It's a bit out of my area and I'm stumped...
 
 
Thanks!
 
Jerry
