Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: oracle is causing high WIO
Sorry, my answer was about how to find witch processes are causing the high
IO.
It's now that I read that you want to know "why oracle is causing this high WIO" ..., and it's a long story :)
Read Cary Millsap's How to Activate Extended SQL Trace (http://www.hotsos.com/e-library/abstract.php?id=29) and activate the extended sql trace for the processes you find with the command from the previous mail(prstat -m).

Try prstat -m and check the major contributors for the % of SYS mode. I *think* the kernel mode includes the IO device wait time.
/app/oracle$ prstat -m
