OS Memory Leaks/Hogs Thursday, September 13, 2007

1. To cek memory leaks in hpux can use an unsupported utility called kmeminfo
2. Checking memory hogs:
- JFS inode cache is sized by vx_ninode kernel parameter. the value of vx_ninode is determined by memory size
- lowering vx_ninode results in a large savings of memory
- to see the JFS inode cache:
# echo “vxfs_ninode/D” | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
- to see how many JFS inodes are currently cached:
# echo “vx_cur_inodes/D” | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
