Re: Disk Async IO

Hi

I think if you have Veritas Quick I/O it would have similar performance as
RAW Device.

If you have OnlineJFS without the Quick I/O then your parameters is doing
nothing as other suggested. However with Online JFS you can use direct I/O
which has a decent performance, by default direct I/O is not enabled, you
have to modify the mount options.

Both Online JFS and Veritas Quick I/O are very expensive though....

 Greetings,

I remember reading Oracle Metalink  Notes saying that Disk Async IO is not
supported on HP-UX for Cooked Filesystems.

We have disk_async_io=true for our Database in HP-UX 11.11 , Oracle
8.1.7.4 and 10g Servers.

I would like to ensure that my understanding and setting is right.

Right now we are using 4 dbwr's. I appreciate  your suggestions.

Our UNIX SA says  " Cooked Filesystems have their own Asynchronous
Mechanisim that equally replaces Oracle Async IO"

What Am I missing here

Appreciate your suggestions.
