I don't know...that's my question...

I have no idea what the following numbers are referring to (as it's not the real/virtual memory for this node):
Memory: 1843M Total. Real: 1024M, 1596M Free, 832M Buffers. Virtual: 819M

what, exactly IS being reflected?

Subject: Top - Help

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
