why uptime display "load average: inf, inf, inf"

Hi,

Does anyone seem this kind of output from uptime and top where "load average: inf, inf, inf"

is this possible problem with the processor?

Cpu states:
CPU LOAD USER NICE SYS IDLE BLOCK SWAIT INTR SSYS
0 0.10 5.4% 0.0% 4.0% 90.6% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
1 inf 2.6% 0.0% 2.6% 94.8% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
2 0.09 2.2% 0.0% 3.2% 94.6% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
3 0.10 1.4% 0.0% 5.0% 93.6% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
--- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
avg inf 2.8% 0.0% 3.8% 93.4% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%

inf means infinity. uptime and top must be able to obtain data from the kernel and in this case they are failing. The only time I have seen this on hp-ux is during the time between rebuilding the kernel and rebooting. Lots of stuff will not work during that window of time.

uptime, load average, and # cpus

I was told that there is a correspondance between the number of cpus, the load averages, and when the cpus reach 100% capacity. I have 4 cpus and said that once the numbers hit 4.00, my CPUs are 100% at capacity. load average: 0.08, 0.09, 0.11 Is that correct? Thank you (7 Replies)
