Sorry about the digital sig on the previous one. That's the default here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --
When we ran through the design review with IBM of our big WAS cluster, the recommendation was to run dmgr on a server by itself. So we do that. It doesn't even have to be up unless you are deploying something or updating configurations. Marcy Cortes "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

This may be 'working as designed' but I'm not sure.... If anyone has seen this please feel free to enlighten. We have a WebSphere cluster, with WebSphere in Network Deployment configuration. This means that the primary node has a configuration slightly different than the secondary node in that the primary has a deployment manager task. That in and of itself causes a nearly 600 meg difference in memory footprint. WebSphere on Linux for z/Series is a 31 bit task, running in a 64 bit operating system. I've verified that both machines are at the same maintenance level, and both are indeed 64 bit SLES. So the conundrum here is why would the node with the deployment manager consistently have almost twice as many resident pages above the bar as the node without the Deployment manager? Is there some function of the Deployment manager that would request memory above the bar to a much greater extent than the node agent or the app server tasks? Just curious as we'd like to explain the behavior difference. -J ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
