prstat result different from top utility
Hi all,
I'm new to Solaris.I am using oracle on solaris5.8. The prstat is showing that oracle is using 99%(32GB) of physical memory,where oracle is supposed to use only 3GB of memory as per our configuration. The top command shows the exact figure i.e. as per expectation. I'm not sure that the utilities of the same operating system showing different results. Can anybody give me suggestion abt the behaviour:
