Hi,

if I run a #svmon -P -t 10 to get the top ten Processes usin my
memory I get the following:


Pid Command Inuse Pin Pgsp Virtual 64-bit Mthrd
16MB
214814 oracle 504830 6238 112677 462958 Y N

13 23630
0 0 work kernel s 7723 6232
2933 10558
snipped............

My question now is if the process really uses 504830 pages in the real
memory? Which is 504830 x 4KB roughly 2GB of Memory? But most of it is
form type work an is unused??
Is that the right interpretation? If yes is that a normal?

TIA

I'd have to check why it's listed as "unused", but given that you are
running Oracle, I'd say those working ("work") segments comprise your
SGA. The client ("clnt") are currently cached pages from files in a
jfs2 filesystem (/dev/OEMlv:69655 is the device and inode).
