		Hello, 
 
We are trying to debug an I/O performance issue. 
 
We have detected a lot of I/O in cloud control in the last 2 days in one of our DBs. 
 
In an AWR, what section should we check first for I/O problems? 
 
It should be the section about SQL ordered by User I/O right? 
 
Would we get any valuable info by comparing the SQL ordered by gets between 2 different periods? One doing well and another one doing bad for troubleshooting I/O? 
 
Thanks

		Jack, you are approaching this from the wrong direction. I/O is not a performance issue. For example, I do not think that your users are telephoning you to complain that Cloud Control is reporting too much I/O. What are they complaining about? Is it, for example, that a screen takes too long to refresh? Or that the overnight batch jobs don't finish until lunchtime? If you can identify a problem (in business terms - something that affects users) then you can investigate it. Just looking at an AWR report and finding a figure that you do not like is not the way to go.
