Subject: RE: OT : kernel using 75% of
CPU
Also
noticed a fairly high load average, it appears you have a lot of processes
trying to get on the cpu, for a very long time, over the last 15 minutes you
have had 15 load average which is high.

Hi there,
I have a Sun e4500, running Solaris 2.7
and Oracle 8.1.7.1.0. Everything looks normal from a database
perspective, but when I run "top" it show the kernel being very
hog-like:
load averages: 14.38, 15.18,
15.18
07:16:21
126 processes: 118 sleeping, 4 running, 4 on cpu
CPU
states: 0.6% idle, 26.6% user, 72.8% kernel, 0.0% iowait,
0.0% swap
Memory: 4096M real, 63M free, 216M swap in use, 5310M swap

Any ideas on what I, as a lowly DBA,
would be able to check? It's a bit out of my area and I'm
stumped...
Thanks!
