swap utilization %

ashumMay 10 2012 — edited May 11 2012

Hi,
I am running 2 database instances of Oracle 11g on Solaris 10 (SPARC T-5120).

At the OS level it seems that the swap is not being used at all, but at the OEM, it shows the "Swap Utlization %" is about 80%

bash-3.00$ swap -l
swapfile dev swaplo blocks free
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 32,3 16 36877808 36877808

Could someone please help me to understand these two indicator and to which one I need to pay attention.

Also, I noticed that if I increase the "memory_max_target" parameter, the "Swap Utilization%" increases.

Regards,

AShum
