5240 Appliance high system load
Just wanted to get a feeling of folks' appliance system loads on heavily utilized appliances. During the main portion of my backup window (lots of tape jobs, lots of VMware to MSDP) I see sustained system loads (per top utility) upwards of 80:
top - 17:46:14 up 26 days, 22:27, 2 users, load average: 88.78, 93.96, 93.47
Tasks: 961 total, 27 running, 934 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
%Cpu(s): 3.7 us, 72.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 4.8 id, 18.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.8 si, 0.0 st
Others see this type of excessive system load?
Am I just asking too much of my appliance?
