I have an 8420 with 2 npars. Each npar has 2 vpars.
What I have noticed once I put Oracle Apps on one of the vpars (2 CPU,
16 GB ram), is that CPU 0 has a load of 20 and CPU 1 has a load of 0-5.
CPU Utilization is evenly distributed over both CPUs. I have noted the
same behavior on most of the active vpars in use. Here are "sar -u -M
5 5" and "sar -q -M 5 5" from one of the vpars.

This is really uncharacteristic for any Unix server I have administered.
I see the CPU utilization about even most of the time, but the CPU 0 has
a very high run queue. No users are complaining and it seems that all
of the processes are getting run in a reasonable amount of time. Has
anyone seen this type of behavior before? Is it related to running in a
VPAR?
Thanks
