disk IO request queue 2005-08-05 - By nasvel
Back Hi,
since some weeks our database server (redhat taroon + oracle 9i) suffered from a very bad performance. The load avg climbed sometimes to 80% :(, althought I think I've a powerful machine (HP, 3 Intel Xeon with 16G memory).
To try to find out the problem, I looked at the iostat report. I found the await time are pretty high, and the average queue length is about 10. Someone told me that it is normal for a DB server, but I have some doubt, so I would like to have you guy's opinions about that...
any suggestion is welcome, thanks
