Hi, your posted problem looks like zfs is eating up your RAM.
but I don't understand, you are writing you have installed 11/08, this is Solaris 10 generic and it doesn't use zfs by default, of course it can be enabled later. If zfs eats up your RAM you have 2 options, while option b) is just mentioned for performance reasons, to increase the machine performance. a) add to /etc/system: set zfs:zfs_arc_max = <zfs_RAM_to_use_in_bytes> b) disable the checksumming on a defined datapool: zfs list (to see the defined zfs pools) zfs get checksum (to review on which datapool checksumming is on/off) zfs checksum=off /<datapool> BUT BE AWARE: in case you switch off the checksumming on a data pool you may benefit from a better read/write and response performance from your zfs pool. But you'll break yourself your own hand if your data pool gets corrupt and you have to jump into a data recovery procedure. the checksum might help, to keep your data in an accurate consistency. pls. have that in mind.
