Hi,

We applied the IY59082 recently, after that, we cannot get WLM
information from nmon, (command line and batch). The nmon works on our
AIX servers for years, it also provides the WLM information correctly
before we applied above patch.

we have "export NMONAIX=5.2.0.0" in our environment, and there is no
error when run "lslpp -Lcq bos.?p":
#lslpp -Lcq bos.?p
bos.mp:bos.mp:5.2.0.54: : :A:F:Base Operating System Multiprocessor
Runtime: : : : : : :0:0:
bos.up:bos.up:5.2.0.54: : :A:F:Base Operating System Uniprocessor
Runtime: : : : : : :0:0:

The above issue is found on numbers of AIX 52 server once we apply the
IY59082, and AIX 5.2 ML05 (which include IY59082). But the AIX topas
and wlmstat are still be able to display the correct WLM information.

Is there anyone experieced the same problem?

Thanks in advance ...

It's quite natural that topas and wlmstat work, since they are updated when
needed.

Check for the latest version of nmon.

Eagerly awaiting my thin chocolat mint.

Thanks for your reply. I did check the new release from IBM site, but
it's still nmon9a for all AIX version, here is the link from IBM:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...cles/nmon.html

I don't know if there are other way to find the update (besides the
subscription).

Young,

the developer of nmon, Nigel Griffiths has released a new version , 10,
You can ask him for the new version of nmon. I had trouble with the new
Pseries , P520 and so on, in nmon9 but Nigel has a new beta version
which works fine!

Young,

you can ask Nigell Griffiths for the new beta version of nmon, version
10.
It works fine for me with the new Pseries of IBM.

Hi Henry,

Which AIX version and ML are you running on? Are you using AIX WLM?

Thanks for everybody's reply,

Yong

Yong,

Show you should see some ouput with WLM

Hi Henry,

Actually, I can get that display as well, but my WLM classes are not
shown after the header information.

Thanks,

It's because the version of WLM got upgraded to version 3 during the
patch installation and ML05 upgrade. And this new WLM version is not
backward compatible with WLM version 2 (prior AIX 52 ML04) and version
1 (AIX 5.1). IBM support is working on a fix to resolve this issue.
