top output problem

[Helen French]

I am having a problem on 2 K580's where the avg values are not correct. The idle's are at like 50% but the total avg sticks at 100% and never moves, some of the others values are at 0.0% and never move while the individual cpu lines have vulues. Example:
Load averages: 0.77, 0.67, 0.63
175 processes: 163 sleeping, 12 running
Cpu states:
CPU LOAD USER NICE SYS IDLE BLOCK SWAIT INTR SSYS
0 0.91 2.0% 26.1% 10.6% 61.4% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
1 0.75 0.0% 32.7% 15.5% 51.8% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
2 0.64 0.2% 32.4% 15.3% 52.2% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
--- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
avg 0.77 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%

Any ideas? These are patched with June 2001 I'm guessing you will say apply never patches?

You may look at these patches:

PHKL_23901 - s700_800 11.00 remove stopped threads from load averages

PHKL_26008 - s700_800 11.00 pstat patch, long command line storage

PHCO_26020 - s700_800 11.00 top(1) cumulative patch

Also do a search in the forums, there are lot of other solutions too.

I know the fact that there is definately a patch for fixing wrongly reported "load averages" in uptime and top in 11i. That patch is PHKL_25389. Yes I would suggest you search keyword "top" for any patches that may apply to your OS level. If you can't find one, give a call to HP response center. I'm sure they'll be able to solve your problem.
