Operating Systems AIX Strange Real Memory usage behavior Post 302119694 by Skyybugg on Thursday 31st of May 2007 10:14:14 AM

John thanks for the perspective and questions.
May 19: I shut down the box. IBM Installed the memory, then I booted up the box. Nmon reports show available memory hovered around 33-35GB.

I have CPU/memory monitoring data from nmon each hour 24/7/365. This is how I was able to see that on May 26 through today available memory went from 35GB all the way down to 2.5 GB.
My attachement is currently what is typical as far as how much memory the application is using. You can see that there is no paging. The box is not breaking a sweat.

A caveat. We are still running AIX 5.1 ML04. In a week we will upgrade to AIX 5.3 TL04. This series of downtimes were set to upgrade harware, Oracle, AIX, MQ, CPU/memory.

NAME
wmbubble - system load monitor SYNOPSIS
wmbubble [options] [program1] [program2] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the wmbubble command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. wmbubble is a dockapp-style CPU, memory, swap and load average monitor. Based on the GNOME BubbleMon applet, this program has been consid- erably improved. The higher the water level, the more memory is in use. The more profuse the bubbles, the higher the CPU usage. There is also a real-time CPU percentage display. When the mouse is moved into the window, the display will change to show the load history, or, if the right shift is held, the current mem- ory usage. If you press the right mouse button, the window will freeze in that state. You can unfreeze the display by pressing the right mouse button again. program1 and program2 are the programs to spawn when either the left or middle mouse button is pressed, respectively. OPTIONS
-d disable swimming duck -u disable upside-down duck -c disable CPU meter -m disable memory screen -p use alternative color scheme in memory info screen -k display memory and swap statistics in megabytes -h display help AUTHOR
wmbubble was written by timecop <timecop@japan.co.jp> This manual page was written by John H. Robinson, IV <jaqque@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). March 28, 2004 WMBUBBLE(1x)
