Solaris 10 v245 Busy/Slow System

Hello All,

I have noticed that one of my servers, the busiest has become increasingly slow to respond and execute commands, the running applications appear to be fine though.

Here is some output from vmstat :-

Code:

 kthr      memory            page            disk          faults      cpu

I am trying to determine if this can be tuned out with system parameters or if the server requires additional memory.

Any ideas?

Wes

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
