Abstract

IJ38518 - AIX 7.3 changed some performance tuning commands' default output

Description

In AIX 7.3, some performance tuning commands' default output changed when called with the -x option.
Live Update stats were added to default -x output for commands such as "vmo".
This change in output may break some applications that depend on it, such as Oracle RAC tuning pre-checks.
