Important ! HP-UX and the memory utilisation

[thomas.seglard.enata at cnp.fr]

Hello,

I got some troubles with HPUX and memory values. With Hobbit, in my memory 
test, I got this :

Memory              Used       Total  Percentage
Physical          16156M      16372M         98%
Swap              22117M      40372M         54%

Everything seems normal but for me, these numbers are high 'cause this 
server does nothing during the day. So, I connected to the server and ran 
this command to see the available memory :

psd216:~# swapinfo -atm
             Mb      Mb      Mb   PCT  START/      Mb
TYPE      AVAIL    USED    FREE  USED   LIMIT RESERVE  PRI  NAME
dev       24000    5474   18526   23%       0       -    1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
reserve       -   11550  -11550
memory    16372    4754   11618   29%
total     40372   21778   18594   54%       -       0    -

This output clearly shows an error in the Hobbit display. If you look, my 
total swap memory is equal to 24000M not 40372M as shown in Hobbit and 
only 23% is used !! Apparently, the values for the swap memory test are 
taken from the last line and that's not correct ! 
Then I tried to execute the binary called "hpux-meminfo" in the client 
"bin" directory and I get this :

$ ./hpux-meminfo 
Total:16372
Free:164

Once again, it's not true as the system reports 11618M of free physical 
memory. 

So, Am I totally wrong or is it a real problem ? 
Is it a way to use this command instead of "hpux-meminfo" ? 

For your information, I'm running Hobbit 4.1.2p1 and the command 
"swapinfo" is available for all versions of HPUX.

Thanks for your help !
Sincerly,

Thomas
