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

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.
