ORACLE 10g PERFORMANCE ON SOLARIS 10
Hi all,
In sunfire v890 we have installed oracle 10g release 2 on solaris 10.
prstat -a command shows :
NPROC USERNAME SIZERSSMEMORYTIME CPU
105root9268M 6324M20%1:21:57 0.4%
59oracle24G22G 71%0:04:33 0.1%
2nobody484M69M 0.2%0:11:32 0.0%
2esbuser13M9000K0.0%0:00:46 0.0%
1smmsp 7560K 1944K0.0%0:00:00 0.0%
4 daemon12M7976K0.0%0:00:00 0.0%
and top utility shows :
last pid: 8639; load avg: 0.09, 0.09, 0.09;up 2+06:05:2917:07:50
171 processes: 170 sleeping, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 98.7% idle, 0.7% user, 0.7% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap
Memory: 32G phys mem, 22G free mem, 31G swap, 31G free swap
therefore from prstat we come to know that memory used by oracle is 71%
where as top says 31.25% used.....
which one is true in this scenario.....
shall we go ahead in trusting top utility?
Advance thanks to you.
