Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> oracle is causing high WIO
It seems the problem is with oracle.
Now when I shutdown the WIO is 0% AND when i start oracle, it is showing WIO as 80-90%
$ sar -u 2 4
SunOS oracle 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u 10/24/2005
11:54:39 %usr %sys %wio %idle 11:54:41 4 4 85 6 11:54:43 1 2 83 14 11:54:45 1 2 81 16 11:54:47 2 2 82 13$
how to find out why oracle is causing this high WIO ?
can someone help me

Yes,
When the db was down, there was no change in WIO.
Means, the databse connections are not casing this high WIO.

OK, but when you had the outage and the database was down did you verify
that wio went down, therefore ruling out the o/s?
I had a similar problem once, huge i/o, I shutdown the database no i/o
problem. On succesful startup and open, huge i/o. I was using startup
restrict. The i/o was oracle doing a parallel transaction recovery even
after the database was open. Lucky it was a box where I could rebuild users
becuase my solution was to drop the user.

Its a production database. The outage window completed. I can no longer take it down.
