Hi Every one: we went online today with full load, until last week we were 20% loaded, and CPU Utilization with less 10%. We have a HPUX with 10 cpus and a Hitachi SAN. Oracle 9.2.0.6. CPU utilization is now 40%.
Today the performance was way more less than expected.
these are the top wait event

As you can see i'm waiting on disk, the path utilization of the san is less than 20% and the CPU utilization is less than 40%. almost all the processes are sleeping.
On the HP-UX monitor says that peak disk utilization is 100% the rest of the parameters are normal and sub-used.
Does anybody know if there is parameter in kernel that limit the disk request?
Any idea would be appreciated.
