Last updated on SEPTEMBER 09, 2019
Applies to:
Solaris Operating System - Version 10 3/05 and laterInformation in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
In the global zone, 'swap -l' shows the status of the disk-based swap.
'blocks' is the size of disk-based swap and 'free' is the size that is not currently swapped out.
If 'free' is smaller than 'blocks', it means pages are swapped out to the disk.
However, in a local zone, 'swap -l' is not necessarily related to the disk-base swap status.
This document explains what is actually shown by 'swap -l' in a local zone.
