I did not think LPAR was managed in a similar manner like a VM. My understanding was that in a LPAR the resources are hard bound when the LPAR gets created You can move them around later but still this is not the same as a hypervisor. Once moved the resources stay with the new LPAR - but I am not sure. Maybe the newer LPARs are hypervised. ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of LS Cheng Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 3:17 AM To: Toon Koppelaars Cc: Oracle Mailinglist Subject: Re: Low CPU time, no Wait time but high elapsed time aha so this might mean the box was saturated and the LPAR couldnt get CPU fast enough?

I have had experiences where a trace-file of a slow session did not record any waittime with similar observation like yours. This was due to the fact that the 'slow session' was running inside a VM that did not get a lot of cpu-cycles allocated from the VM manager.

The 10046 trace for the RMAN catalog database session showed cpu time 10000 microseconds, no waits and elapsed around 1200000 microseconds. This is 10.2.0.5 running on AIX. I did some research and couldnt find any good reason. Anyone come across with this sort of issue?
