Hi,

this is just a timestamp which occurs every some 10 minutes.
Have a look with top and monitor.

greetings,

Michael

thanks Here is the current TOP details. Does this seem to tell anyone that this would slow down the system?

Please post the output of vmstat 5 10 and swapon -s. The oracle proccess is taking most resources, I want to know from the vmstat output the general status of the system.

[Adam Strobel]

Attached are the vmstat 5 10 and swapon -s

Thanks!!

[Adam Strobel]

I also notice when I plug a console cable to the first controller and run some basic commands like "show this" or "show devices" the details come across the screen pretty quick but when I do the same thing above to the second controller the screen detail are very slow.

Serial console output can be slow, this is because of the method of data transmission and it's normal unless you change the baud rate.

From the vmstat output, it seems that the system (at the moment of the output) was pretty idle. There are no page outs, cpu idle is more than half, and free memory is enough. You also are not using swap space.

When you say the system is slow, is slow how? the output of commands? The time that takes to complete a database query? The file transfers?

Maybe you should verify the network connectivity. You should ensure that the network is running at full duplex if possible. You can use:

hwmgr get attr -cat network

To verify the speed and duplex mode.

Also, post the results of netstat -ni, to see if there are packets with problems.

PD: Don't forget to assign points to ALL people that anwers to your questions.

Hi,

many Oracle processes are in the state WAIT.
This indicates to me that there is much I/O going on. Have a look with monitor to see if too much I/O is going on.

thanks everyone for continuing to help.

Attached are the hwmgr get attr -cat network and netstat -ni

attached is a snap shot of "monitor"
