Well, with zfs on-board, vmstat's going to show it all used up. If I'm running out of memory, I'm really running out of places to hold references to memory. I've got 8GB and that much more swap. And the system is performing nothing harder than a series of pkgadds. (luupgrade, as it were, but other loads, pax -rw /net/server/dir . will do it also.)
(Pause while I go look for something...Seem to recall some forum msgs regarding zfs) Sigh, I now know far more than I ever wanted to about Xen. OK, I'm suspicious that it's a ZFS/Xen interaction. I'm off to test (best as I can) the following hypothesis: Solaris/x86xpv reports the same memory values to ZFS/arc as does Solaris x86pc. But ZFZ/arc is designed to let Solaris have enough memory for Solaris. But perhaps not enough for Solaris+Xen. My tool will be mdb -k ::memstat I'm adding the zfs->discuss list to the distro. But it will be a few days before I can pull this system down to do that. Hopefully someone already knows the answer... Cheers!
