Very Heavy Traffic Between Solaris 10 8/07 and
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 4.6) Clients (CR
6685402)
With heavy traffic from Sun Blade X6250 Server Modules with RHEL4.6 (64-bit) to
Sun Blade X6250 Server Modules with Solaris 10 8/07 (64-bit), the blade with Solaris
10 OS could experience high CPU usage rendering the blade unusable.
Workaround:
1. Increase the number of CPUs or the speed of the CPUs.
2. Add tunables to /etc/system file.
The following is an example:
