100% memery usage in prstat


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hi Guys,

I have observed the Oracle (DB USER) is utilizing 100% of the memory in the prstat -a output. I am bit confused is it normal and if not how to bring it down? ABout the machine it is a SunOS 5.10 Generic_125100-10 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200.

Please see below output of prstat -a
I have made bold the utilization...

Is there one terabyte or RAM installed on your box ?

PS: Please use code tags instead of quote ones.

Then you can safely ignore that statistic which incorrectly sum shared memory segments.

Have a look at the last sentence of the prstat manual page.
