Hi there,
 

I have a Sun e4500, running Solaris 2.7 and Oracle 8.1.7.1.0. Everything looks normal from a database perspective, but when I run "top" it show the kernel being very hog-like:
 

load averages: 14.38, 15.18,

15.18                                     
07:16:21126 processes: 118 sleeping, 4 running, 4 on cpuCPU states:  0.6% idle, 26.6% user, 72.8% kernel,  0.0% iowait,  0.0% swapMemory: 4096M real, 63M free, 216M swap in use, 5310M swap free

Any ideas on what I, as a lowly DBA, would be able to check? It's a bit out of my area and I'm stumped...
 
 

Thanks!
