Drop_caches doesn't work on Solaris but works on RHEL6

Hello Experts,

I am performing performance tests on a few mysql select queries.
I use the following command to clear the memory disk caches.
sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

I however see that the above command works on RHEL6 but doesn't work on Solaris 10.

I asked google but didn't get the solution.Smilie
Could you please help me in figuring out the command that would do the trick on Solaris as it did on RHEL?

Thanks for your valuable time.Smilie

Regards,
Anirudh

SYNC(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   SYNC(8)

NAME
sync -- force completion of pending disk writes (flush cache) SYNOPSIS
sync DESCRIPTION
The sync utility can be called to ensure that all disk writes have been completed before the processor is halted in a way not suitably done by reboot(8) or halt(8). Generally, it is preferable to use reboot(8) or halt(8) to shut down the system, as they may perform additional actions such as resynchronizing the hardware clock and flushing internal caches before performing a final sync. The sync utility utilizes the sync(2) function call. SEE ALSO
fsync(2), sync(2), syncer(4), halt(8), reboot(8) HISTORY
A sync utility appeared in Version 4 AT&T UNIX. BSD
May 31, 1993 BSD
