we are ussing SunOS CA-MCPDB2 5.10 Generic_125100-09 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200 with IDS Version 10.0.Total concurrent users are almost 200 per DB.
We have updated the buffers to 80,000 but please see that we are using almost 20 instances in parallel. This particular instance has 5 databases running on it. There are 50 virtual segments in this instance.
The results of onstat –d , onstat –m and onstat -p are as follows

#
# When dynamic logging is on, we can have higher values for LTXHWM/LTXEHWM,

# can be set to smaller values.
#
# If dynamic logging is off, LTXHWM/LTXEHWM need to be set to smaller values
# to avoid long transaction rollback hanging the server due to lack of logical

# In case of system configured with CDR, the difference between LTXHWM and
