To check the swap usage on an IBM AIX system, you can use the lsps command. The lsps command displays information about the swap space on the system, including the total swap space, the amount of swap space currently in use, and the percentage of swap space currently in use.
Here's an example of how to use the lsps command to check the swap usage on an AIX system:
lsps -s
This will display the current swap usage on the system. The output will look something like this:
Total Paging Space: 2048 MB Total Paging Space Used: 128 MB (6.25%)
In this example, the system has 2048 MB of swap space, and 128 MB (6.25%) of that space is currently in use.
You can also use the vmstat command to check the swap usage on an AIX system. The vmstat command displays a variety of system statistics, including the amount of swap space being used.
Here's an example of how to use the vmstat command to check the swap usage on an AIX system:
vmstat
This will display a variety of system statistics, including the amount of swap space being used. The output will look something like this:
kthr memory page faults cpu ----- ----------- ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------ ----------- r b avm fre re pi po fr sr w in sy cs us sy id wa st 1 0 6462 1223 0 0 0 0 0 W 148 102 231 1 1 98 0 0
The swpused field shows the percentage of swap space currently in use. In this example, the swpused value is 1, which means that 1% of the swap space is being used.
