Hello Listers, I have noticed that v$OSSSTAT is giving me very different set od statistics depending on the OS where it is issued (HPUX 11.11 und Suse Linux 9.3 in this case): The results : 1) On Linux select * from V$osstat ; STAT_NAME VALUE OSSTAT_ID ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- NUM_CPUS 16 0 IDLE_TIME 1167934008 1 BUSY_TIME 79554670 2 USER_TIME 59414548 3 SYS_TIME 14861968 4 IOWAIT_TIME 2908619 5 NICE_TIME 17964 6 RSRC_MGR_CPU_WAIT_TIME 0 14 LOAD 3.44921875 15 NUM_CPU_SOCKETS 4 17 PHYSICAL_MEMORY_BYTES 31821768 1008 2) On HPUX select * from V$osstat ; STAT_NAME VALUE OSSTAT_ID ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- NUM_CPUS 16 0 IDLE_TIME 779115767 1 BUSY_TIME 63454316 2 USER_TIME 40541593 3 SYS_TIME 22912723 4 IOWAIT_TIME 47127545 5 AVG_IDLE_TIME 48679516 7 AVG_BUSY_TIME 3950719 8 AVG_USER_TIME 2518658 9 AVG_SYS_TIME 1416836 10 AVG_IOWAIT_TIME 2930331 11 OS_CPU_WAIT_TIME 4.2290E+12 13 RSRC_MGR_CPU_WAIT_TIME 0 14 LOAD .155273438 15 PHYSICAL_MEMORY_BYTES 6.8683E+10 1008 VM_IN_BYTES 939913216 1009 VM_OUT_BYTES 0 1010 I am especially interested in OS_CPU_WAIT_TIME and AVG_IOWAIT_TIME, but I don' find them on Linux ! Is this an expected behavour or it is an configuration issue (both databases are 10.2.0.2 and are smilarly configured). The official documentation doesn't mention anything about OS dependencies: http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2010.htm#G2030321 Am I missing something ? I would appreciate any further information, links, mail postings etc. Kind Regards. Milen -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen!
