Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RMAN Performance Problem
I have gathered some statistics on the RMAN performance problem, =
although it is difficult to catch it because it happens so quickly. The =
main wait event seems to be async disk IO. I also ran statspack a =
couple of days ago, and async disk IO showed up as the top wait event =
too. Does this usually indicate a problem with the way the disk is =
configured. I think we are using RAID 5, but I have to check on that =
tomorrow.
These are the stats I got today:
This was before the backups ran:
