Hello,

I'm a little bit confused about WLM in AIX 7.1.

I'm using WLM for displaying mainly CPU/Memory/DisIO for Oracle Databases on AIX LPAR in WLM passive Mode.

In former times this works properly.

Actually I see that Memory is not assigned to the defined WLM Class of an Oracle Database - instead the classes Unclassified or Default are used for displaying Memory.

My expectation:

Used Memory of an Oracle DB is seen under the defined class for that DB - not under Unclassified nor Default.

Example:

  Work-Load-Manager (WLM) -----------------------------------------------------
 Classes=7   Mode=Passive          Rsets ProcTotal ClassTotal
                   CPU    MEM    BIO  CPU MEM IO  CPU   MEM   BIO              
 Class Name       |---Used-Percent--||--Desired-||----Shares-----|Proc's T I L
 Unclassified        0.0  53.8   0.0 100  98 100    -1    -1    -1     0 0 0 0
 Unmanaged           0.0   4.8   0.0 100  99 100    -1    -1    -1     0 0 0 0
 Default             0.0   0.5   0.0 100  98 100    -1    -1    -1    37 0 0 0
 Shared              0.0   0.2   0.0 100  98 100    -1    -1    -1     0 0 0 0
 System              0.0   1.0   0.0 100  99 100    -1    -1    -1   294 0 0 0
 ORACLEDB1             14.2   3.8   1.8 100  98 100    -1    -1    -1   365 0 1 1
 ORACLEDB2              0.0   8.7   0.0 100  98 100    -1    -1    -1    77 0 1 1
 Total percentage   14.3  68.0   1.9        Tier, Inheritance & LocalShm=T I L  

Assignment of WLM works via shell script, which identifies the processes belonging to an DB by her name and uses wlmassign to address them into the right class. For CPU/DiskIO (even count of Processes) - it works. Only Memory is not shown as expected.

Used tools for displaying

- topas_nmon (-W)

- wlmstat

Any hints are welcome,
