Read Cache, NUMCPUVPS

Hi, I'm relatively new to Informix and have two questions that I need answers to. Sparc 20 running Solaris 2.4 Informix ODS 7.11.UC1 First: I checked the instance profile last night (onstat -p) and all looked great. dskreads, pagreads were both very low, Buffreads was very high (2 billion and some). My cache ratio was 99.99%. Looked at the same stats this afternoon... Cache ratio is 0%! Buffreads is a negative 2+ billion (-2051413361). Nothing unusual in the log, UNIX logs, or application logs. All apps, and threads running as normal. Response seems as good as usual (by feel only, I have no physical stats to back the feeling up) Can someone explain what happened here? Are the numbers "rolling over"? Second: Since this is a development machine, we decided to bounce the instance. Great! I wanted to check out the effects of adding a second cpu vp. This is a multiprocessor (2) machine! I set NUMCPUVPS to 2, MULTIPROCESSOR to 1, and SINGLE_CPU_VP to 0. When I tried to bring it back on-line it dies. online.log shows... "listener thread: err = -25572: Network driver cannot bind a name to the port." It then PANICs and the log shows "cannot wake idle processor." I reset the NUMCPUVPS to 1 and it comes up without problem. To make things even more interesting, I tried "onmode -p+1 cpu" and it worked. Am I misconfiguring something? Can someone explain this to me?
