High Swap Memory Usage

rickylim · 05-03-2006, 08:53 PM

Dear all,

hi, i am newbie to solaris.

i have one server solaris 5.9.

The problem is, right after i execute tar command for backup, the swap and memory usage shoot up to 90% ++. (since yesterday until today)

even after my tar command completed.

i've check prstat -a but could not find any high processes.

Please advice.

Many Thanks.
