    I have a shared processor AIX 6.1 LPAR on a P7 770 with an entitlement of 7 and vCPUs of 24 (SMT=4).

     

    My physical cpu units used is generally between 0.8 and 1.2 but the 5-min load average is between 15 and 25.

     

    What could be causing the high load average when the physical cpu units used is so low?
