Your server only *has* 16 Gbytes of RAM.  If it also has 16 Gbytes of
*free* RAM, which is what I asked, then you have an unusually slim
version of Solaris ;-).

Anyway, given that lot you're tinkering at the edges by allocating a
mere gigabyte or so to your JVM.  If you have enough RAM and if the JVM
running Tomcat is the main application on the system, I'd give it (say)
80% of the free (note *free*, not total) RAM on your system.  That gives
a couple of gig for unusual overhead such as maintenance scripts.  If
you're living alongside other applications or database servers, you'll
have to size the JVM appropriately.  The 64-bit Sun JVMs will quite
happily take as much RAM as you throw at them, at least for the next
couple of years while memory technology catches up.
