[SunHELP] iostat vs. vmstat

[Naresh Narang]

Hi,

	I am trying to find the cpu idle time on an E-450. When I do

#vmstat 1 5

I get a cpu idle time of about 80%   and when I do

#iostat 1 5

I get cpu idle time of 10% or less.

Just to make it sure - in both cases it is the last column "id" under "cpu".
I would expect them to be almost same and I get almost same on a different
box. Any ideas what is going on here?

Thanks and Regards,
