Hi All

We are currently experiencing heavy performance problems on our v880 "1
cpu board". I took a sar of the box and saw that there is a lot process
waiting block I/O.

[maverick]root:/var/adm/log> sar 5 100

SunOS maverick 5.8 Generic_108528-26 sun4u 05/06/04

12:25:16 %usr %sys %wio %idle

12:25:21 24 13 20 42

12:25:26 23 12 28 37

12:25:31 22 12 34 33

12:25:36 23 11 27 39

I shutdown oracle and rebooted the box. But still after that there was
still a 2 to 3 %wio with nothing running on the box. This is solaris 8
with veritas file system running oracle.

If somebody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Johnny
