    shows
    snmpmibd process accounts for 77% of physical memory of
    16GB.
    
     # lssrc -s snmpmibd
          Subsystem         Group            PID
    Status
           snmpmibd         tcpip            4391122
    active
          #
    
         7) Confirm the memory usage of snmpmibd.
    
          # svmon -P 4391122 | grep snmpmibd
           4391122 snmpmibd   15987     9728   0    15779
     Y     N     N
          #
    
          In the example, usage is 15779 pages (= 61MB).
    
    # svmon -P 4391122 | grep snmpmibd
           4391122 snmpmibd   16376     9728   0    16168
     Y     N     N
          #
