Is swap usage normal on an appliance?
I've got several 5220s and when I check "top" on them I see that they are all using all available memory and are into swap. I will be restarting these appliances in the near future so will be able to monitor this usage more closely, but in your experiences have your appliances tended to use up all their memory and get into swap space like this?
Granted - they aren't using a whole lot of swap (4-6GB), but these systems have 96GB of memory so I'm kind of surprised that there is any swap use at all.
Details:
5220 appliances running 2.6.0.2 74TB storage (64TB MSDP) 96GB memory
