Re: [foxboro] 0% idle time & More than 80% iowait on AW51B

Hi Ajay

I can't comment on your idle time problem, but I have encountered
strange AW51 performance issues in the time before we installed a router
between our IA network and the Corporate LAN.

From what I can remember the Sun network cards have an issue with IPX
traffic and the only way to restore performance is to re-boot the
affected box.

Hope this helps.

Hi! All

We have a AW51B running on Version 6.1. Yesterday on running top, i
saw
that the cpu idle time is 0%, and the iowait time was running between
70 -
90%. We have had 0% idle time problems before, but then there was
always a
process out there who was eating away the cpu time. But this time
around
there was not a single process of that kind. Could somebody through
some
light onto this one.

Just a piece of additional info. Around 20-25 days back I had connected
the
second ethernet port directly to out Plant LAN, without anything
in-between. And there is all kinda traffic on this LAN, IP, IPX,
NetBEUI,
DECnet, to name a few.

Are the above two related.


Thanks & Regards
