DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC66940 Status: Closed

AIX SWAP SPACE INFORMATION NOT AVAILABLE - APPLIES TO DB2 9.5 FIXPACK 5
ONLY

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
Swap space and other Operating System memory information will be 
reported unavailable, missing, or incorrectly in various 
locations, eg. db2pd -osinfo output and in the db2diag.log 
header. 
 
This only occurs on DB2 9.5 Fix Pack 5 running on AIX levels 
older than 5.3 TL09 or 6.1 TL02. It is the result of the 
inclusion of a more recent AIX libperfstat.h header file in FP5, 
and the problem has been corrected for Fix Pack 6. 
 
Symptoms: 
 
1. db2diag.log header may report wrong physical/virtual/swap 
memory information, eg. 
 
Physical Memory(MB): total:2415919106 free:2415919106 
Virtual  Memory(MB): total:0 free:0 
Swap Memory(MB): total:0 free:0 
 
2. STMM will report messages on every tuning cycle if Database 
Memory is being tuned: 
 
FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, Self tuning memory manager, 
stmmCalcMinMaxFree, probe:1833 
MESSAGE : ECF=0x90000002=-1879048190=ECF_FAILED 
          Failed 
DATA #1 : String, 36 bytes 
Unable to determine swap space info. 
 
3. db2pd -osinfo may be missing the sections titled 
"Physical Memory and Swap" 
"Virtual Memory"
