Hi all;

I just downloaded and installed TOP [for AIX] on one of our SP nodes (yes, the CPU bound one) for the Oracle DBA's to monitor their processes with. However, I am confused as to where TOP is getting it's MEMORY information from? This node has 4GB of physical memory and another 2GB of paging...yet that is not being reflected. Does anyone know where TOP gets it's information - or what these MEMORY numbers might be referring to?

Thanks in advance for the help;
Theresa
