[comp.sys.sun] Help. Sun 3/160 performance and vmstat

beoneel@well.sf.ca.us (Bruce O'Neel) (04/06/90)

Help!  We have a problem with our sun 3/160 which we just upgraded to
SunOS 4.0.3.  We have 8 meg of memory and 2 Fujitsu M2284 drives.  After
the upgrade the system seems quite slow.  I ran a vmstat 5 2000 and looked
at the output and I noticed that quite a number of times we had 4 to 10
processes in the blocked state, the paging was 150 - 225 (Pages per
second?) and 40 to 60 % idle cpu time.  I'm not a unix guru and I am not
very familiar with this so I'm lost.  Thanks to anyone for help.  If you
mail to me at beoneel@well.uucp I'll post a summary.
