Operating Systems Solaris The old golden Question - Cpu load vs utilization Post 302989086 by jim mcnamara on Saturday 7th of January 2017 10:10:12 AM

As shown -- You do not have a cpu resource problem. Period.
Cpu queues may (note the "may") be caused by a lot of process context switching. LWP's (Solaris threads) can do this. I think that is your issue. But I do no think you have a real problem. Yet.

So, if you want to learn about your system context switches try dtrace using cswstat.d I am definitely not saying this is your perceived issue, but dtrace is your best window into the kernel. And it looks like you want to learn.

Books like this one are very much in order for learning dtrace:
DTrace: Dynamic Tracing in Oracle Solaris, Mac OS X and FreeBSD: Brendan Gregg, Jim Mauro: 9780132091510: Amazon.com: Books

Ok. If your system has problems, always consider starting your problem solving with I/O. I/O request queue length for example. You may have one disk device that is being hammered. Or the device has problems.

iostat is your friend here. So is dtrace:
Tutorial: DTrace by Example

Checkout the dtrace toolkit.

NAME
lockstat - DTrace kernel lock instrumentation provider DESCRIPTION
The lockstat driver is a DTrace dynamic tracing provider that performs dynamic instrumentation for locking primitives in the Solaris ker- nel. The lockstat provider makes probes available that you can use to discern lock contention statistics, or to understand virtually any aspect of locking behavior inside the operating system kernel. The lockstat(1M) command is implemented as a DTrace consumer that uses the lockstat provider to gather raw data. The lockstat driver is not a public interface and you access the instrumentation offered by this provider through DTrace. Refer to the Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes offered by the lockstat provider. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWdtrp | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Private | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
