Cause

After upgrading InfoScale, page-in requests can report much higher in "sar". "vmstat" output looks normal but "sar -p" output looks abnormal (showing high page-in requests). "sar" is taking an absolute sample which causes the high values.

Resolution

There is no workaround, a patch or hotfix will be required to resolve this issue. Please contact Veritas Technical Support to obtain a hotfix for this issue.
