Muhammad Salman Faheem,

As with any changes made to address a performance problem, make sure you have a 
way to measure the effect of the change.  You must have a query or two that are 
existing issues, so use those queries with Oracle stats and waits to show 
differences before / after the change.  Then you'll know for sure the impact of 
the change you made.

Subject: Using Direct I/O Filesystem for Oracle Database

BismillahirRehmanirRahim
 
Hi All,
 
We are running Oracle 10g R1 on Sun SPARC Solaris 9 Sun Fire V890 Server.
 
By default we have following setting in the Database:
 
disk_asynch_io = TRUE
filesystemio_options= asynch & 
db_writer_processes=1
dbwr_io_slaves =0
 
To improve Disk I/O Performance We re-mount Oracle Database FileSystems [ 
containing Datafiles,logfiles & archive logs] with forcedirectio,noatime option.
 
After remounting the Oracle Filesystems with forcedirectio,noatime i changed 
the filesystemio_options to setall i.e.
 
filesystemio_options=setall
 
(1) I need to know if i missed something or made any mistake.
 
(2) Do i need to change dbwr_io_slaves  or db_writer_processes values 
 
(3) What else i could do to improve DISK I/O performance 
 
Appreciate your valuable feedback.
 
Best Regards,
 
Your DBA Colleague
Muhammad Salman Faheem
