HI,

Can you give me the output of these commands:

/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune
iostat 1
vmstat 1
svmon -G
netstat -m
netstat -in
netstat -v
ps aux |more
ps avx | more
ps -ef | sort +3 -r | more
ps -ef | egrep -v "STIME|$LOGNAME" | sort +3 -r | head -n 10
nfsstat -s
nfsstat -c
no -a

After this maybe I can tell you what's the problem.

Regards,
