Recently I moved a database from one server to another other. The only difference is the new server is sun solaris 2.8 verus the old one sun solaris 2.7. When the database is running on solaris 2.7, the "top" command shows the amount SIZE and RES which is memory usage. However, after I moved to a new server, SIZE and RES is always zero, regardless what the datbaase usage is. Is this a problem? Or is it just because of differnet version of platform?

Thanks,

On Sun Solaris 2.7:

PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND

   325 oracle     1  10    0  359M  326M cpu/9    0:01  0.00% oracle
   543 oracle     1  10    0  360M  326M cpu/5    0:00  0.00% oracle
   656 oracle     1  20    0  359M  326M cpu/13   0:00  0.00% oracle

........

After move to Sun Solaris 2.8 server:

PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND

   436 oracle     1  58    0    0K    0K sleep    0:01  0.00% oracle
   438 oracle     1  58    0    0K    0K sleep    0:01  0.00% oracle
   541 oracle     1   0    0    0K    0K sleep    0:00  0.00% oracle
