	| 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.
