<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just wanted to put some closure on this, just in case someone else misinterprets</DIV>
<DIV>the vmstat output. I was supposed to divide by 256 not 1024.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm having some trouble with the freemem on an aix4.3 client and need some help.</DIV>
<DIV>First I didn't install the OS, so vmstat in not installed. I found nmon which gives a 'top'</DIV>
<DIV>like output as below:</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>$ ./nmon -s 1 -c 1<BR>nmon v8a Hostname=cbaix43 Refresh=0.0secs 09:44.46<BR>Memory Use Physical Virtual Paging pages/sec In Out<BR>% Used 37.4% 6.0% to Paging Space 0.0 0.0<BR>% Free 62.6% 94.0% to File System 0.0 0.0<BR>MB Used 95.7MB 31.0MB Page Scans 0.0<BR>MB Free 160.3MB 481.0MB Page Cycles 0.0<BR>Total(MB)
256.0MB 512.0MB Page Reclaim 0.0</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I grab the output from the "MB Free" section and multiply the Physical (160.3) by 1024,</DIV>
<DIV>and then send a dummy vmstat like line to the freemem section as shown in the clientdata below:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The problem is this is what I'm seeing on the memory webpage for the client:</DIV>

<DIV><BR> </DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas??</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
