Have run it several times on Exadata Machines
Under the covers this does the same thing as the Orion Calibration Tool

Hi,
we've executed it several times. It ran for about 12 - 18 minutes in our
environment.
One important point that was not so obvious for me is that it appears
that you'd better
run it when you have allocated sufficient space for the database - the
tablespaces have to
be big enough (i.e. if the allocated space is less than or equal to the
cache of your SAN,
you'll get certain figures, if it goes beyond that size - you'll get
different results).
I realize that this sounds logical now, but it wasn't so intuitive for
me when we executed the
procedure for the first time (the SAN here has 64GB of cache).
On the first run, right after the database creation (with just few small
tablespaces - system, sysaux, undo etc.)
it read everything from the SAN's cache (95-100% hit ratio).
After that we allocated few 3TB tablespaces (this a new DWH setup) - the
storage team reported 0 cache hit ratio
on the SAN side ... (hence my question for details).
I found some old threads here, in the mailing list archive, that mention
Exadata best practices and setting the values
manually to fixed numbers (there's a MOS note about a bug that explains
the procedure).
Best regards
Dimitre
