Recently our server (AIX) got unresponsive, so we had to restart the server. When I am using vmstat command to check any performance issues, the output is making me scary. I provided vmstat output below, suggestions are really appreciated to diagnose the bottle neck we are facing.
Can I disable virtual memory AKA the swap file on a Windows Server 2008 R2 that is a 64 bit Os with 64 GB of memory?
what are the similaities and differences betwen cache and virtual memory?
How do you set virtual memory on a server with 32GB of ram? Do you disable it totally?
How can I tell how much virtual memory is in use on my Windows 2008 server. How can I modify that setting?
The vm takes the entire allocated physical memory even if it is idle. Does MS have a plan to address dynamically release/grap memory in the near future? This question is from the Microsoft Virtualization Chat on ITKnowledgeExchange.com
Does MSFT have any plan to implement ESX ballooning driver like technology for memory management? This question is from the Microsoft Virtualization Chat on ITKnowledgeExchange.com
