Hi bkowalewski

AFAIR we did experience the same (or similar) problem on the same platform
using a Solaris 10 zone with disk on SAN storage.

We get rid of it by setting "StartDBSyncers=1" in the zabbix server configuration
file.
This never happens on a real modern :D platform like HP 380 G5
with "only" 8 cores, 4 GB of RAM and 15k SAS drives.
It's not the first case we experienced that the new 32-core Suns
are slow.

HTH,
