So any idea what is using the memory?
No idea at all....
By the way does your guest have the vmware tools installed?
Yes they do. But good to mention this because I don't remember if a restarted the servers since I installed vmware-tools.... Besides that I prefer to wait a little bit more in order to check how behaves Server4 (the only one that I've rebooted recently)
If you do, then you probably have /proc/vmmemctl. Check what that
file says if it exists.
Here it is (eg: Server1):
target: 503386 pages
current: 503386 pages
rateNoSleepAlloc: 16384 pages/sec
rateSleepAlloc: 2048 pages/sec
rateFree: 16384 pages/sec
timer: 1135686
start: 1 ( 0 failed)
guestType: 1 ( 0 failed)
lock: 2518801 ( 54 failed)
unlock: 2015361 ( 0 failed)
target: 1135686 ( 0 failed)
primNoSleepAlloc: 2518801 ( 0 failed)
primCanSleepAlloc: 0 ( 0 failed)
primFree: 2015361
errAlloc: 51
errFree: 51
Is primFree the total amount of free memory available?
