Hi Gurus,
Sorry for late summary.
Thanks to all who replied:

Well there is no issue with Iowait in Netra. The high i/o wait is
"normal" for the type of CPU the netra has.

Thanks Guys

Hi Gurus,

I m having a problem with Netras T105. Whenever I copy/untar/delete a
file which is huge about 2 GB or more on local disk it takes lots of
IOwait (it varies between 92-99%) constantly and copy/delete/untar is
painfully slow. It happens on all 3 Netras I have.

All Netras are running Solaris 8 with kernel patch 108528-23.

See below top output :
