David, I just grabbed the kernel rpm from novell's site (since my guests don't have outside access) and applied the RPMs. That has solved my problem across the board, where an interrupt rate of 5000/sec was normal they are all now at 105 or less. Deric -

We are running sles10 sp2 not redhat, so I am not sure if this bug was in any of the red hat releases. The kernel that comes with sp2 was 2.6.16.60-0.21, and the most recent kernel for sp2 is 2.6.16.60-0.37 (remember that the number after the "-" is the rpm build/release version, so that will

I read through this thread. I see information about db2fmcd, which you say did not cause your problem. I don't see anything in the thread that tells me about the problem or fix to the kernel. Can you point me to information about the kernel problem? Just to confuse things, we have Red Hat, not Su

2009-05-26 Thread Deric Abel
Hi, I have an issue with one of my linux guests (sles10) where when we enable HADR with db2 the HADR db guest interrupt rate jumps from a few thousand to 300,000 per second. This causes the guest to be using 20-30% of one IFL, despite doing very little. Has anyone seen this issue before, or k
