Hmmm. The RHEL install of sar defaults to collection every 10
minutes,
which isn't frequent enough for my tastes. Smoothes out the spikes
too
much.
If you let 'vmstat 1' or 'vmstat 5' run, do you see spikes in the
'r' or
'b' columns?

No, %wa is 0%
Are your network cards running at the same duplex as your connected

Yes they are 1000 Full Duplex
Is kswapd busy (ie your system's thrashing) during the spikes?
No.
You might get useful records by installing the sysstat package and
then
configuring sar to run every minute, then using sar to report on the
collected data.

Subject: High Load and Low CPU & Memory
I have some brand new servers with 2 - Dual Core Xeons 3.33 Ghz and
48Gb of RAM. Intermittently they are spiking to high load averages
5+
or sometimes even 10+ and the application (oracle application
server)
becomes unresponsive. We are moving them from 2 - Dual Core
Opterons
2.4 Ghz and 12GB of RAM, and never experienced this type of
situation. Can anyone give me some suggestions on where to start
looking?
I am using Kerberos/LDAP authentication/authorization for the new
ones, but the ldap servers do not appear to be the issue. The
oracle
user is local to each server.
Thanks
-Troy
