hi
 
we are running oracle 9.2.0.4 on red hat and netapp as the storage. everything 
has been going on alright until a week back i/os have become very slow.
 
we can see dbwr taking a very longtime to do a db file parallel write and all 
loadings (this is a dw system) is taking longer. the i/o on the filer shows 90% 
to 95% usage and hits 100% sometimes. this filer is shared between three other 
home grown applications but none of them has put in any new code. the slowness 
is showing up on all applications but this dw system is bound by some SLAs 
hence bad performance is easily noticeable.
 
we have a tech ticket opened with the vendor but no response yet. has anyone in 
this list faced this kind of issues? no sql has changed and this storage setup 
has been working fine for more than 6 months now.
 
thanks
sai
