Measures reported by CisNexusMemoryTest
This test reports the memory utilization of each memory module available in the target Cisco Nexus Switch. By comparing the memory usage statistics across the memory modules, you can quickly identify the memory module that is under-sized or is currently running out of space.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Total_memory |
Indicates the total memory available for this memory module. |
GB |
|
| Used_memory |
Indicates the amount of memory already utilized in this memory module. |
GB |
A low value is desired for this measure. |
| Free_memory |
Indicates the amount of memory that is currently available for use in this memory module. |
GB |
A high value is desired for this measure. |
| Memory_usage |
Indicates the percentage of memory that is utilized in this memory module. |
Percent |
A low value is desired for this measure. A high value or a consistently increasing value is a cause of concern, as it could indicate a gradual erosion of memory in the memory module. In such cases, you may want to resize the memory module or investigate the cause of memory erosion and find a way to arrest the memory erosion. |
