How are the disks attached ? a NAS, a SAN? what type?
But usually this sort of issues comes more from the OS side... Or SAN is flushing and syncing its cache but badly configured, not optimised to your usage (dont laugh I have seen cases with the best equipment...)
we have an unix system which has
load average normally about 20.
but while i am running a particular unix batch which performs heavy
operations on filesystem and database average load
reduces to 15.
how can we explain this situation?
while running that batch idle cpu time is about %60-65... (0 Replies)
Hello all, I have a question about load averages.
I've read the man pages for the uptime and w command for two or three different flavors of Unix (Red Hat, Tru64, Solaris). All of them agree that in the output of the 2 aforementioned commands, you are given the load average for the box, but... (3 Replies)
Hello, Here is the output of top command. My understanding here is,
the load average 0.03 in last 1 min, 0.02 is in last 5 min, 0.00 is in last 15 min.
By seeing this load average, When can we say that, the system load averge is too high?
When can we say that, load average is medium/low??... (8 Replies)
Hi,
i have installed solaris 10 on t-5120 sparc enterprise.
I am little surprised to see load average of 2 or around on this OS.
when checked with ps command following process is using highest CPU. looks like it is running for long time and does not want to stop, but I do not know... (5 Replies)
Hello AlL,..
I want from experts to help me as my load average is increased and i dont know where is the problem !!
this is my top result :

Hi ,
I am using 48 CPU sunOS server at my work.
The application has facility to check the current load average before starting a new process to control the load.
Right now it is configured as 48. So it does mean that each CPU can take maximum one proces and no processe is waiting.

Hi,
I am getting a high load average, around 7, once an hour. It last for about 4 minutes and makes things fairly unusable for this time.
How do I find out what is using this. Looking at top the only thing running at the time is md5sum.
I have looked at the crontab and there is nothing... (10 Replies)

addbadsec
addbadsec(1M) System Administration Commands addbadsec(1M)NAME
addbadsec - map out defective disk blocks
SYNOPSIS
addbadsec [-p] [-a blkno [blkno]...] [-f filename] raw_device
DESCRIPTION
addbadsec is used by the system administrator to map out bad disk blocks. Normally, these blocks are identified during surface analysis,
but occasionally the disk subsystem reports unrecoverable data errors indicating a bad block. A block number reported in this way can be
fed directly into addbadsec, and the block will be remapped. addbadsec will first attempt hardware remapping. This is supported on SCSI
drives and takes place at the disk hardware level. If the target is an IDE drive, then software remapping is used. In order for software
remapping to succeed, the partition must contain an alternate slice and there must be room in this slice to perform the mapping.
It should be understood that bad blocks lead to data loss. Remapping a defective block does not repair a damaged file. If a bad block
occurs to a disk-resident file system structure such as a superblock, the entire slice might have to be recovered from a backup.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Adds the specified blocks to the hardware or software map. If more than one block number is specified, the entire list should be
quoted and block numbers should be separated by white space.
-f Adds the specified blocks to the hardware or software map. The bad blocks are listed, one per line, in the specified file.
-p Causes addbadsec to print the current software map. The output shows the defective block and the assigned alternate. This option can-
not be used to print the hardware map.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
raw_device The address of the disk drive (see FILES).
FILES
The raw device should be /dev/rdsk/c?[t?]d?p0. See disks(1M) for an explanation of SCSI and IDE device naming conventions.

The format(1M) utility is available to format, label, analyze, and repair SCSI disks. This utility is included with the addbadsec,
diskscan(1M), fdisk(1M), and fmthard(1M) commands available for x86. To format an IDE disk, use the DOS "format" utility; however, to
label, analyze, or repair IDE disks on x86 systems, use the Solaris format(1M) utility.
