Update to my original post: I found the following in vmstat truss output...
20157: open("/dev/kstat", O_RDONLY) = 3 20157: ioctl(3, KSTAT_IOC_CHAIN_ID, 0x00000000) = 59532 20157: ioctl(3, KSTAT_IOC_READ, "kstat_headers") Err#12 ENOMEM And I found some references that suggest that maybe the buffer cache is too large and should be tuned down via bufhwm in the system file. The server has 32G of memory and thousands of disks. Does anyone have experience tuning bufhwm and could anyone provide any guidelines for managing buffer cache size.
