throughput

How do i find the throughput of a CPU and the Hardisk on an open solaris machine. Using MPstat or iostat.

I'm having a hard time identifying the throughput if it is given at all in the commands output. Eg. in mpstat there is very little explanation as to what the columns mean

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/mpstat-1m?l=en&a=view&q=syscl+mpstat

I've been using the syscl column divided by time interval to find the throughput but to be honest i have no idea what a system call truelly is.

I'm trying to to analyze a hardrive and CPU while writing a file to the hardisk and when at rest

Thanks in advance. Jim
