Hi, I've a problem on Solaris 8 with CPU measure !
If i make a prstat or a ps (/usr/bin & /usr/ucb), I have the following result : - 4.4% : vxconfigd And if I make a top I have : - 47.49% : vxconfigd I should divide top result by the number of processors (Here 4 : V490) : 11.87% for top. Maybe I should take the prstat rather than top... but I saw another thing ! A = SUM(%CPU of each process) with prstat or ps B = SUM(%CPU of each process) with top C = SYS+USR with vmstat (or iostat or sar) Result : A = 15.6% B = 43.13% C = 50% Why is there a such difference between prstat and top and why top seems to be beeter here ??? Thank's for replies...
