Symptoms

SmartView Monitor Free Real Memory does not match "top" command output for Memory free.
Top output, free, and snmp values match. SmartView Monitor value is different.

Solution

The values in SmartView Monitor and "top" command are actually quite close. The calculation is just set up differently.

Example:

SVM - we have 8.86GB == 8.86x1024x1024 == 9290383KB

TOP - we have 7005400KB (free) + 493284KB (buffers) + 1795996KB (cached) == 9294680KB 9290383KB ~= 9294680KB

This solution has been verified for the specific scenario, described by the combination of Product, Version and Symptoms. It may not work in other scenarios.

This solution is about products that are no longer supported and it will not be updated
