We are on db2 udb v8.2 64 bit,partitioned (5 nodes)
on AIX 5.2 ( intra parllelism is enabled).
I have a question, i am trying to find the memory usage on my
production machine. what is the best tool to find memory usage in
db2??? (i've used db2mtrk, but it is no good in partitioned db)
I ran ps -e -o "%z %U %c" | sort -n i see lot of db2sysc processes , (i
also tried ps auwx) which cosume all the memory what are these
processes?
The vmstat -v o/p

with the script posted by leonard the memory usage was 18 GB used

TOTAL=0
for P in `echo $FIELD6`

nmon shows memory used as 31.9 GB (i.e 90% of the memory is being

are my memory calculations correct? our db is partitioned (6 logical
nodes)
Also with db2stop vmstat shows most of the memory is being used, we
have no other applications running except db2
Any help greatly appreciated....
Thanks,
Raj
