Issue/Introduction

Cdm probe shows different Physical Memory on AIX and Linux Servers

Environment

Release:  Any UIM Version
Component: Any cdm probe version

Cause

For this metric, the buffer cache will be subtracted from physical memory value if the key mem_buffer_used is set as no.

This support is added for Linux, AIX, Solaris and HPUX platforms.

Resolution

To include the buffer and cache memory for physical memory calculation, set the value of mem_buffer_used key to yes at AdminConsole cdm configuration ONLY (This option does not exists at IM)
