Folks Need to find out if Async IO is setup & working or NOT in our Performance Benchmark Setup. Qs 1 - What HP-UX Command gives the existing filesystemio_options settings for the mounted filesystem ? NOTE - Init.ora parameter disk_async_io=true (default) Qs 2 - For Async IO to work, is there a dependency or NOT on the existence of the file "/dev/async" ? ... This file does NOT exist Currently ... Is the presence of this file merely to suppress the below Error Message in Oracle Trace files. Oracle Trace Files currently contain the Message:- Error - File '/dev/async' not present : errno=2 Related Link - http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/ecc-upgrade-phase-tabimupg-error-1790565 Existing Configuration:- Oracle 10.2.0.1 System name: HP-UX Node name: SPEHPPA1 Release: B.11.11 Version: U Machine: 9000/800 Instance name: LOSDB Redo thread mounted by this instance: 1 Oracle process number: 0 Unix process pid: 21553, image: oracle@SPEHPPA1 Will provide any info needed ....
