Element Description

PAGES Reports these paging statistics:



PHYSCL — physical memory size in pages. The number in

parentheses below the PAGES heading indicates the size of a

page in kilobytes.



SWAPBL — number of pages not permanently required by the

operating system and thus available for swapping.



FREE — number of swappable pages not currently assigned to

any process.



FREEMIN — minimum number of pages on the free list.



FREEQUOTA — number of pages reserved for allocation under

mutex.



FREERED — number of free pages reserved for allocation under

mutex when the memory management semaphore was not

available.



LOCKED — number of pages currently locked and maximum

number of swappable pages that can be locked in the processor

by various processes at any given time. The current maximum is

7/8 of the total number of swappable pages in the processor being

measured. This maximum prevents all of the memory in the

processor from being locked at the same time, thus preventing

deadlocks.
