I have a LPAR running with 18 physical CPU and 36 Virtual CPU. System shows high no of blocked kernel threads even though system utilization is very low. I have cross-verified other LPAR in the frame where this server is located, none of the other server don't see similar issue.
Below is the vmstat output ran for few intervals.
do over allocation of CPU in virtualized server create such situation where kernel threds got blocked. Need help on this and some ref if available.
