vmstat showing 140+ blocked processes

Our Openview server is running on an HP 9000 D380 running OV Network Node Manager ver 6.0. The vmstat is showing 140+ blocked processes. I am wondering what could be causing such a high number of blocked processes. Is this normal for openview? Vmstat also shows cpu is averaging 75% idle and no paging and swaping activity.

PHKL_16301 corrects an error in vmstat which misreports blocked processes. See if you have that patch (or a superceding patch) installed.

Thanks Alan ... installing the patch fixed the problem. Sorry for taking a long time to reply, we didn't get the opportunity to install the patch until last week.

No worries. I haven't been around much lately anyway. Glad the patched worked for you.
