A system with multiple applications is experiencing bursts of activity. This drives the free pages list very low, resulting in increased wait times for applications. Given the vmstat output below, what can be done to increase the number of free pages to compensate for these bursts of activity? db2serv2: /# vmstat -v vmstat -v 33554432 memory pages 32552800 lruable pages 106 free pages 1 memory pools 2507104 pinned pages 90.0 maxpin percentage 76.0 minperm percentage 95.0 maxperm percentage 10.0 numperm percentage 3520502 file pages 0.0 compressed percentage 0 compressed pages 10.0 numclient percentage 95.0 maxclient percentage 3512039 client pages 0 remote pageouts scheduled 18 pending disk I/Os blocked with no pbuf 0 paging space I/Os blocked with no pbuf 2007 filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf 59 client filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf 0 external pager filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf 8.0 percentage of memory used for computational pages
