Show System Resource Command Displays CPU Utilization of 9999%

The following is an example output:

The 9999 value is seen on occasions due to an incorrect calculation performed by the show system resources (same as Linux "top") command. The correct output will be displayed by reissuing the command several times. In the example output above, the correct utilization values are shown in the upper section of the display, where load average shows 0.00 and cpu information shows 99.7% idle.
