HowTo: Check Swap Usage In Solaris Unix

To check the swap usage on a Solaris system, you can use the swap command. The swap 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 swap command to check the swap usage on a Solaris system:

swap -s

This will display the current swap usage on the system. The output will look something like this:

total: 2048 MB    reserved: 0 MB    used: 128 MB    available: 1920 MB

In this example, the system has 2048 MB of swap space, and 128 MB of that space is currently in use.

You can also use the vmstat command to check the swap usage on a Solaris 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 a Solaris 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 w   swap  free  re  mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m1 in sy cs us sy id
 0 0 0   6144  5840   0   0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  1  2  3  1  1 98

The swap field shows the total amount of swap space on the system, and the free field shows the amount of swap space currently available. In this example, the system has 6144 MB of swap space, and 5840 MB of that space is currently available.
