Is that zone assigned to a resource pool, or is it using the dedicated-cpus feature? > When the process is running (chewing 100% of its pset), the frame nic (server > is a E2900 with a ce interface) is dropping 20-30 % of its packets > causing a headache. My first guess is that the NICs interrupts are going to a CPU that the zone is using, and the CPU doesn't have enough power to run the zone's workload *and* be an effective NIC interrupt handler. Please run the "intrstat" command as root in the global zone, to determine which CPU is handling interrupts for that NIC. Also, check which CPU(s) that zone can use. Please let us know what you learn from those. > Doesn't appear to be a network load issue.
