Hi,

The only thing I can think of or ask you is, is this system being used at all ?
No resource sonsumption. But then depends on when this output is taken - definitely not during the busy hours for the system.
What is that you are looking for ?
No resource issues from this output, although its just for 25 seconds.

Regards,
Ninad

Hi Sekar,

You can do few things when they call you for problems

swapinfo -tam

vmstat 5 99
(look for PI and PO ), normal to have PI, if you see numbers in PO, then you need to start looking at other places.
