Hi there,
To find out what is using such paging space us the command svmon -Pg .
It will show you a list of processes where you can find a column
called Pgsp that indicates you how many 4k pages the process is using.
I usually use the command on the following way:
svmon -Pg |grep -p Pid|more

Hi Jackson,

Thanks for the command. I tried it out and determined that the
processes using up the most 4k pages were the Informix "oninit" pids.
This is what I suspected, but at least now I can see which PIDs in
particular are using the most, so I can try to fine tune a bit more
and check for incorrect onconfig settings (incorrect as in different
than our other servers that don't have this problem.)

Here is what was displayed as the highest usage:
