Physical Memory usage  - AIX server

Zone: IBM AIX Unix
Tags: aix, memory, usage
Experts,
We have AIX 5.3 running on a standalone box with 4 GB RAM.
From past couple of weeks the physical memory has been shooting high, 100% many times and the system is paging highly.
There is nothing unusual running apart from regular applications which have been there for long.

here is svmon -G:
# svmon -G
               size      inuse       free        pin    virtual
memory      1048576    1048277        299     243096    1166071
pg space    3481600     547806

               work       pers       clnt      lpage
pin          243096          0          0          0
in use       997529          0      50748          0

also, topas command gives the top "what processes"? memory or cpu?

Please help me figure out the memory problems urgently.


Thank you
Max.

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!
