I had a lot of issues with this pool when I first started using LOBs in 
11.2.0.1. At that time there was a bug in 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.2 where this pool 
could (and would) grow to unlimited size. A one-off patch was released for 
11.2.0.2 and included in 11.2.0.3 which limits this pool to 512MB.

As explained by another lister it's used for securefile LOBs. It would appear 
the pool is allocated even if you don't have any securefile LOBs. Have you 
checked that no SYSTEM LOB's are securefile? Default setting for db_securefile 
in 11.2 is PERMITTED so you might have some even if you don't know about it. 
Check DBA_LOBS view.

Thanks,
Finn

Hallo ,

after upgrade from 10G to 11.2.0.3 DB allocated 430M of shared_io_pool 


 select
   ksppinm,
   ksppstvl,
   ksppstdvl
from
   x$ksppcv  a,
   x$ksppi   b
where
   a.indx=b.indx
and
   b.ksppinm like '%shared_io%';

KSPPINM                        KSPPSTVL             KSPPSTDVL
------------------------------ -------------------- ---------------
__shared_io_pool_size          452984832            432M
_shared_io_pool_size           0                    0
_shared_iop_max_size           536870912            512M
_shared_io_pool_buf_size       1048576              1M
_shared_io_pool_debug_trc      0                    0
_shared_io_set_value           FALSE                FALSE

What possibilities are to set upper boundary of shared_io_pool ? With setting 
_shared_iop_max_size ?
Did anybody play with these parameters ?
How it is possible to monitor if  (and how effective, impact on performance ) 
this pool is used ?
Why the DB allocated such pool ? We have other 11G DBs , also with LOBs , where 
such pool ist not present.
