Any thoughts? Tom, You've overflowed the precision of the numbers used in monitoring through onstat. These overflowed numbers show up as negative. Your system's been up for 51 days, and all of the onstat -p numbers are a bit big. You can fix it with onstat -z, ignore it at no cost or risk, or bounce the server a little more often if possible.
