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
