Followup - this system has a lot of kernel activity and I/O - (top typically
shows CPU > 50% kernel) - but the hotkernel blorked with this (eventhough
load avg was only ~2 and command line is responsive):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ 1:41pm 114 # ./hotkernel 
Sampling... Hit Ctrl-C to end.
dtrace: processing aborted: Abort due to systemic unresponsiveness

FUNCTION                                                COUNT   PCNT

I'm working my way down the toolkit list - any help on pinpointing the
bottlenecks with the appropriate 1st pass tools appreciated.

Here is some iotop output - nothing surprising here - sendmail, spamd and
mailman (python) are generating I/O:

Ideally I'd like to know what the fixable (tunable) bottlenecks are on a
system that otherwise has plenty of CPU and memory available

Thanks

Hi, I am trying to debug the bottle neck(s) in a Solaris 10
Mailman/Spamassassin/Sendmail VMWare VM and get the following error from
tcptop:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ 1:35pm 103 # ./tcptop
dtrace: failed to compile script /dev/fd/11: line 40: failed to resolve
SS_TCP_FAST_ACCEPT: Unknown variable name

thanks for any insight,
Fletcher.
