Dear Community,

I have just jumpstarted this host this afternoon.

The sar output is strange, any ideas what kind of process could cause
this spike ?
There is nothing on the console log or /var/adm/messages.
Process based accounting is switched off.

This is Solaris 8 2/04 patched to EISCD March 06 running on a V890
