    Hiya,

    I've got a query on memory useage on Solaris 8 on a Sun Fire 280 machine.

    We've got 6Gb real RAM and 6Gb swap configured. The system is using 4Gb of
    swap yet it still has 2Gb or free RAM available, anyone have any idea why it
    does this or if its even normal? Is there anyway of making the OS use that
    last 2Gb real RAM?

    Aditionally, we're running many instances of BEA Weblgic on here and its
    frequently complaining that the system is it out of memory even though there
    is 1.5/2Gb free real RAM left....

    Any ideas?
    Andy
