Pardon the all-caps business that shows my email id - it's a Lotus Notes
thing and I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to fix it.

You may want to get your sysadmins involved.  Are the controllers insanely
high as well (iostat -xnC 1 | grep c)?  Has anything changed on the box
recently?

We had a server that had something funny happen on either the settings for
HBAs or the mount options of the disks after a frame migration.  I don't
recall what the final resolution was.  No activity on the database
whatsoever, but the I/O wait was incredibly high and the average service
time stunk.  Also, try a mkfile on one of the filesystems with Oracle down
and see if that makes the associated disk go crazy.

 It seems the problem is with oracle.

 Now when I shutdown the WIO is 0% AND when i start oracle, it is showing
 WIO as 80-90%

 $ sar -u 2 4
 SunOS oracle 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u 10/24/2005
 11:54:39 %usr %sys %wio %idle
 11:54:41 4 4 85 6
 11:54:43 1 2 83 14
 11:54:45 1 2 81 16
 11:54:47 2 2 82 13
 $

 how to find out why oracle is causing this high WIO ?

 can someone help me

 Yes,

 When the db was down, there was no change in WIO.

 Means, the databse connections are not casing this high WIO.
