Hi all, I'm currently experiencing some very strange behaviour at my MySQL server.

Our production server is a Sun-E4500 (8x400 MHz 4 GB Ram running Solaris 8 and 
Solstice Disksuite...) and a single A5000 "Storedge" with 127 GB disk space (12x9.1GB 
@ 10K RPM) array connected over a single FC-AL adapter.

The MySQL server we use is 4.0.17 and as all queries such as select and insert are 
really fast, all "update" queries are extremely slow.

In numbers it is 17 seconds for a single update query on a 500K record table which 
looks like this :

AGID    | int(10) unsigned  |      | PRI | NULL                | auto_increment
period  | datetime          |      | MUL | 0000-00-00 00":00:00 |
key_     | varchar(100)      |      | MUL |                     |
type_   | tinyint(3)        |      | MUL | 0                   |
name    | varchar(100)      |      |     |                     |
value   | int(100) unsigned |      |     | 0                   |
lastrun | datetime          |      |     | 0000-00-00 00":00:00 |
acl     | varchar(50)       |      |     |                     |

Now my question : Is this problem a hardware problem (are there any sun specialists 
here) or are there any known issues with solaris/sparc/a5000 and MySQL any special 
configuration needed.The server is not under heavy load compared to a single 600 MHz 
CPU Intel/Linux machine which can handle this tasks without any problems.

For the config of the MySQL server we used the configuration described in the current 
handbook of MySQL.

We are really desperate about this machine at the moment since we are not very 
experienced Sun/Solaris admins and until now tried every trick we could think of to 
get a bit more performance. 

If you need more config data please name it and I'll send you all I can get hold off.
