Dialect Differences in
vmstat
Because each hardware vendor writes their own vmstat utility, there
are significant differences in vmstat output. The vmstat output is
different depending on the dialect of UNIX, but each dialect
contains the important server metrics.
Because vendors have written their own versions of the vmstat
utility, it can be useful to consult the online UNIX documentation
to see the display differences. In UNIX, you can see your
documentation by invoking the man pages. The term man is short for
manual, and your can see the documentation for your particular
implementation of vmstat by entering man vmstat from your UNIX
prompt.
