NOTE - The Storage Box Continues to be the SAME .
It has simply moved (UNPlugged ) from the previous SF6800 machine & Plugged
(Attached) to the SF15K machine.

The back end storage box is :-

HP Storage Box Model = XP512
1 Volume only (RAID 5) exists across ALL the underlying Disks
Total Number of Underlying Disks = 56
Veritas File System (VXFS) partitions Sit above the Volume (RAID 5)

Thus the hardware is a Hybrid Setup combining a SUN Machine with a HP Storage

ORACLE_HOME , Database Both Exist on the Storage Box.

The CPU Utilizations of BOTH APP & DB Server machines has Shot UP by 25 % .

Both APP & DB Server machines have identical configuration i.e. SF15K machines
,
while previously Both used to be SF6800 machines

Thanks indeed

P.S. Interpretations can be so different in English

What's Oracle up to on this new box. Have you looked at the tuning
options in Oracle, and particularly the tracing stuff to see what's
happening? (ie sql_trace and tkprof).

It could be that you've got fragmented tables or indexes which is
slowing the whole thing up, or even forgot to recreate an index when you
moved the DB across.
