1) use sar on SVR4 systems....vmstat is a BSD thing
2) DYNIX rocks
3) IMHO yer BUFPCT is too high. If this is a dedicated
        database server ( i.e. no other apps on it ) and
        you are using ptx's DirectIO ( check with yer SA, 
        or run truss on a shadow ) you really don't need
        much more than 10. YMMV, etc. 
4) You never mention WHY you are tweaking kernel params.
        What is going on?

Hi all

We are running oracle 8.1.6 on DYNIX 4.4.7.
CUrrently the BUFPCT is set to 25 and during this
weekend will be increased to 30. I'd like to be
able to check whether this affects oracle in any way.
What statistics should I be looking at? I was thinking
of using a vmstat (to check of page-outs ) but it
doesn't exist on DYNIX. Any ideas?

thanks
