- A couple of ways:
-
- 1) Run /usr/contrib/bin/monitor if you have it. The "G"lobal
- screen reports "Physical memory" in kilobytes.
-
- 2) If you can become root, run /etc/dmesg. Look for a message
- that indicates physical memory size. On a 9.0 system, the
- message looks something like:
-
- # Memory Information:
- # Physical: 24552 Kbytes, lockable: 21496 Kbytes, available: 21596 Kbytes
-
- 3) If dmesg is full of other messages (fix your system :-) and
- the memory information has disappeared, try (as root):
-
- echo "physmem/D" | adb /hp-ux /dev/kmem
-
- The number printed is the number of 4K physical pages.
