Correlation between the svmon command and ps command outputs

Edit online

There are some relationships between the svmon command and ps command outputs.

Example 1

The following is an example for the svmon command and ps command output:
# # ps v 405528
    PID    TTY STAT  TIME PGIN  SIZE   RSS   LIM  TSIZ   TRS %CPU %MEM COMMAND
 405528  pts/0 A    43:11    1   168   172 32768     1     4 99.5  0.0 yes 

(0) root @ clock16: 6.1.2.0: /
# svmon -O unit=KB,segment=category,filtercat=exclusive -P 405528  
Unit: KB
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Pid Command          Inuse      Pin     Pgsp  Virtual
  405528 yes                172       16        0      168

...............................................................................
EXCLUSIVE segments                   Inuse      Pin     Pgsp  Virtual
                                       172       16        0      168

    Vsid      Esid Type Description              PSize  Inuse   Pin Pgsp Virtual
   554f1         f work shared library data          s     92     0    0      92
   49416         2 work process private              s     76    16    0      76
   6d49f         1 clnt code,/dev/hd2:338            s      4     0    -       -

The ps command output above displays the SIZE as 168 and RSS as 172. The use of the svmon command above provides both the values.

You can use the output values from the svmon command displayed above with the following equations to calculate the SIZE and RSS:
SIZE = Work Process Private Memory Usage in KB + Work Shared Library Data Memory Usage in KB
RSS = SIZE + Text Code Size (Type=clnt, Description=code,)
Using the values in the example above you get the following:
SIZE = 92 + 76 = 168
RSS = 168 + 4 = 172

Example 2

The following is an example for the svmon command and ps command output:
# ps v 282844       
    PID    TTY STAT  TIME PGIN  SIZE   RSS   LIM  TSIZ   TRS %CPU %MEM COMMAND
 282844      - A    15:49  322 24604 25280    xx   787   676  0.0  3.0 /opt/rsct/b

The ps command output above displays the SIZE as 24604 and RSS as 25280.

You can use the output values from the svmon command displayed above with the following equations to calculate the SIZE and RSS:
SIZE = Work Process Private Memory Usage in KB + Work Shared Library Data Memory Usage in KB
RSS = SIZE + Text Code Size (Type=clnt, Description=code,)
Using the values in the example above you get the following:
SIZE = 23532 + 1072 = 24604
RSS = 24604 + 676 = 25280
