Operating Systems Solaris Unusual system bog down Post 302890622 by jim mcnamara on Thursday 27th of February 2014 02:56:42 PM

Thanks!
@jlliagre - system was rebooted and the problem cleared. Back then prstat -Z did not show any one zone using cpu resources. Nobody had cpu. as you saw sys % time was low, too. So the kernel was not thrashing AFAIK.

/tmp gets cleaned up monthly, so maybe 200 files were out there.

@hicksd8 - pg_contig_disable = 0. I think this may have precipitated the problem. OTN has some similar information, we knew about it but decided against setting it. We rebooted, it is now set to 1. We also forced mgt to acquiesce to a periodic off-time reboot. We now are allowed reboots on the weekend. The whole thing is political, no technical person is allowed input in decisions like this until something goes South.

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.
