vmstat behaviour after upgrade to solaris 10

Has anyone else seen this? And they have changed the man page from Solaris 8 too. The first column no longer has processes, it has kernel threads. Does that mean any change in the interpretation?

No nothing like that...it is a standard format...a better idea would be to see the output for a larger interval like
#vmstat 5 5

blowtorch, you left out the first line of the heading which would have illustrated your question. Anyway Solaris 9 was the same way. What are you upgrading from?

We did an upgrade from Solaris 8. Its a big system, 32 CPU, 64G of memory. Anyway, I think they've got it fixed. Have been quite busy with other stuff the past few days.

Hey guys, just an update, first of all, the box is a UAT box, so it has 'only' 16 CPUs and had 32GB of memory. And a ton of oracle databases from another box were swung over (it has VCS), so all the SGAs combined needed about 12GB more memory than the system actually had. Anyway, the problem has been fixed by adding 16GB memory and swinging most of the databases back to the original configuration.
