RE: cpu average load

Cpu average load. =20

Guys,  I have started using big brother for monitoring our Unix/Oracle
systems.  I am getting alerts on the cpu utilization:

dohsdb10.doh.ad.state.fl.us.cpu yellow Mon Nov 29 18:36:36 EST 2004 up:
55 day(s), 12 users, 139 procs, load=3D171


LOAD AVG on dohsdb10,doh,ad,state,fl,us is 171

What is a good load average per cpu - this is a Solaris 2.9 smp machine
with multiple cpu's - what should I expect???  How can I tell if this
cpu utilization is affecting performance on the host?

Thanks,
Paula
