Hi Gurus,
I'm writing regarding our prod environment with Oracle 11g (11.2.0.2) on
64-bit AIX 6.1 with storage on IBM XIV devices.

The users have been complaining a very poor performance and all sorts of
delays.

The issue I've been seeing very large waits for "Average Time to Sync a
Redo Log".  Its reaching as high as 600 ms. Right now we've four redo
groups ( 2 members each) with a size of 600 MB each.
Now when I checked the hourly logswitch frequency sometimes the count is
upto 18 per hour (very alarming) while sometimes its just 1 or 2 as given
below. Should I increase the size of redologs? What else can I do to curb
these waits? The related parameters configured are :
log_checkpoint_timeout = 1800
fast_start_mttr_target = 0
log_checkpoint_internal = 0

Appreciate earliest help. Here is the hourly logswitch count:
