Operating Systems Solaris vmstat and waiting kernel threads Post 302313221 by roopaprabhun on Tuesday 5th of May 2009 04:19:16 AM

This is a part of my whole problem

As u can see in the vmstat output, 39 waiting processes are there and also the cpu is idle, when I check using Top command, i see that there is approximately 2 gb of RAM free which is not being used. Also cpu is approximately 80% idle.

Some(~10, which is very less, we generally run 30 of these parallely) really cpu intensive tasks have been made to run on this machine and their speed is very slow. neither are they executing fast(using the available cpu), nor are the waiting processes running. what is the meaning of this?

also from iostat output, i don't see lot of io happening.
