[SunHELP] analysis of "csw" and "smtx" columns

[Naser Ali]

Hello

This is the output of mpstat from E15K , sol 8, 32 GB memory, and 20 , 900
MHz cpu system, the "csw" and "smtx" columns have very large numbers, what
does that mean.?
What are the other performance monitoring tools available in Solaris 8
besides, vmstat, sar, iostat, and mpstat..?

Regards
