Sorry, this question was already posted in the past.

top "swap in use" indicator refers to the total amount of virtual memory
being used (not necessarily on the swap file/partition).

Hi,

The top command output on a server we have shows the following:

last pid: 20766;  load averages:  0.25,  0.35,  0.38
10:23:03
89 processes:  88 sleeping, 1 on cpu
CPU states:     % idle,     % user,     % kernel,     % iowait,     % swap
Memory: 8192M real, 2748M free, 4817M swap in use, 17G swap free



So, there are real memory available, but Solaris (9) uses swap space.

Why? How can I find out what processes are using swap?

Thanks
