svmon command -O option does not work

[Halasz Jozsi]

Hi All,

yet again I need the help of this talented aix group. Our WebLogic
Server installation has failed, because it has run out of memory.
Reading the official IBM AIX documentation I realized, that I can list
those processes that are eating up the most memory (top 15 consumers):

svmon -P -t 15 -O summary=basic

But, unfortunately, the -O option does not work (I mean, svmon command
stops with an error message, because it cannot recognize the -O
option.) Why is it so? Did anyone experience problems with the -O
flag? (We use AIX 6.1)

Anyway, the following command works perfectly (and it lists Oracle
processes as top memory consumers, but currently we are not allowed to
shutdown our Oracle instance, so these processes must remain in the
memory):

svmon -P -t 15

Thanks for your answers in advance.

Best regards, Jozsef

Thanks, it seems we will learn to live without the -O option. Our
system is:

6100-01-01-0823

Yes, since you need at least AIX 6.1 TL2.
