Veritas inherently does not do DIO unless you've implemented ODM/Quick IO which 
is unlikely. That means buffered IO. I've personally seen what a huge 
difference it can make when the OS has buffered the data already. It's very 
possible this is the reason for the difference.

Thanks,
Finn

Please use a sql trace at level 8 to understand what oracle is doing in both 
cases.
ASM is inherently DIO thus no buffering. If the database on Solaris does not do 
DIO, and there is much memory free, there is a chance the OS buffers the IO's

All,
I appreciate if you could shed some light on which direction to go. I have 
Solaris non-rac database running with 26GB SGA ( PDB-NONRAC(Solaris)) and
3 node RAC database in Linux with 100GB SGA ( PDB-RAC ) . One of our program 
runs 3 times slower on RAC vs Soalris. Same SQL code , same plan, and  same 
oracle version etc. Solaris has file system with Veritas LVM and Linux has ASM. 
 Here is the output of 10046:
SQL ID: 9txtqr9tdkcbs
  Event waited on                             Times   Max. Wait  Total
Waited

----------------------------------------   Waited  ----------  ------------
PDB-NONRAC(Solaris)                     db file sequential
read                    413468        0.32          234.99
PDB-RAC(LINUX)                          db file sequential
read                    434173        0.50         2138.24

Is it Veritas's LVM caching playing the role here vs no-caching in ASM?

 Thank you,
