>>>Could you tell the managers group the swap method used on the machine.
It may be helpful to grep for kern.log in /var/adm/syslog(.dated) for a
kern.log with a size greater than zero. Look for swapdefault, lazy,
eager, or overcommit mode. This setting affects the amount of swap you
should configure. With 10GB of RAM, it appears that there is very little
swap space overall. Also, are your RAID5 disks striped ? From below, it
appears that the swap is on part of the RAID5 disks. Is this the case ?

Kris, I have the vm_eager set to zero/lazy, didn't before, now I do. Yes
the Raid5 disks are striped.

Thanks,
