OEM should provide more information, are they log buffer waits, log file synch, 
etc.  Where are the online redologs located?  Are these waits actually causing 
any problems?  How long does the blocking last? How many sessions are queued?

Subject: LGWR blocking sessions



My log writer is triggering an alert from OEM that it is blocking
sessions.  (SID ### is blocking -- which is LGWR).

I have googled, and searched metalink, and come across log file sync's,
and even Kevin Closson's interesting blog about io and cpu (again :)).

Even though I can find people (several) with the same issue and
question, I did not come up with any solutions that where directed
specifically.

10.2.0.4, peoplesoft, SAN.  Sidenote.  Archiver is copying logfiles to a
Quantum dxi7500, (with compression and deduping software bundled).

Any ideas where to go from here?   (I'll be back early tomorrow)

Alert log snippet during time receiving two such alerts which looks
normal.  No trace files.  Some db's have been know to warn of the 500ms
write threshold was exceeded, but not here now.
