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
