RAM

The recommended minimum RAM is 1GB.

The following command gives the RAM available. This example shows 946116KB, which is 946.116MB of RAM.

grep "Physical" /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
Sep 1 10:57:17 chong vmunix: 
Physical: 1048576 Kbytes, 
lockable: 903392 Kbytes, 
available: 946116 Kbytes

To check the random access memory (RAM) available, use the following command (the first flag is a lowercase L):

% lsattr -l sys0 -E
keylock       normal   State of system keylock at boot time               False
maxbuf        20       Maximum number of pages in block I/O BUFFER CACHE  True
maxmbuf       2048     Maximum Kbytes of real memory allowed for MBUFS    True
maxuproc      200      Maximum number of PROCESSES allowed per user       True
autorestart   false    Automatically REBOOT system after a crash          True
iostat        true     Continuously maintain DISK I/O history             True
realmem       524288   Amount of usable physical memory in Kbytes         False
conslogin     enable   System Console Login                               False
maxpout       0        HIGH water mark for pending write I/Os per file    True
minpout       0        LOW water mark for pending write I/Os per file     True
fullcore      false    Enable full CORE dump

The realmem line gives the RAM available. (This example shows 524288KB, which is 524.288MB of RAM.) Sybase currently recommends at least 256MB of RAM for Sybase IQ.
