%wio 95-100 on Oracle Standby Server
Then, on Mar 27 it started to have trouble keeping up. Since then it continues to have trouble. It got so bad we had to recreate the standby database when it got nearly 2 days behind after a big conversion of data.
The IT guys have upgraded the fiber to the SAN from 1GB to 2GB. They insist that the EVA is nearly idle and the traffic on the switch is nearly non-existant.
However, SAR reports 95-100% wio. Here's a sample of the SAR output:
11:30:27 %usr %sys %wio %idle
11:30:30 4 5 91 0
11:30:33 6 6 88 0
11:30:36 0 1 99 0
11:30:39 1 0 98 0
11:30:42 0 1 99 0
11:30:45 0 1 99 0
11:30:48 0 2 98 0
Can anyone help me understand this behavior?

Re: %wio 95-100 on Oracle Standby Server
EVA guys make a change and your system suddenly messes up.
Sounds to me like a causal sitation.
You are using Oracle dataguard to get the logs?
Look for clues in the logs of whatever replication tool you are using.
Run some other reports to see if a network bottleneck was introduced.

There could be SAN collision or problems with your driver needing an upgrade.
The latest bi-annual HP-UX patch set is always a good idea, as is looking for new drivers for your fiber card.

Re: %wio 95-100 on Oracle Standby Server
you didn't indicate which disks were waiting for io.
Try sar -d 5 12 and posting the results.
If the SAN is as idle as they say, then it could be a dodgy root disk or mirror that is causing these stats and not the database. Check vgdisplay -v vg00 and see if vgsync or lvsync is running in the case of LVM.
Then check the Oracle wait stats iternally.
Then use fcmsutil /dev/td0 (or whatever your FC device names are) with the devstat argument to check for fibre errors.
Then check for other things, such as recent changes/patches to the o/s and to Oracle itself.

Re: %wio 95-100 on Oracle Standby Server
Run vmstat -S 5 12 and check the 'po' column. If the number is > 5 then also check ipcs -ma to see how much memory has been taken by Oracle.
