    Need more information to even guess where to start.
    1. ML11 has an aio patch oracle needs. Should look at going to it soon.
    2. Send results of a vmstat 5 5
    3. ipcs -bm
    4. lsps -s
    5. vmtune
    6. lsattr -E -l aio0

    Typical answer here would be the Oracle DBAs setting their SGA too large and
    eating all memory. 8GB of RAM is not that much for a 1 TB database. You should
    tune down max and min perm so that you don't double buffer. Have you gone the
    the guide to configure AIX for oracle? There is a white paper or a red book,
    don't remember which.

    Hi list,

    I have a slight problem / issue, this is related to an 7017-S85 server,
    connected to F20 ESS. The server is a 6W - 8 GB RAM running Oracle 8.1.7.4 with
    database instance of approx. 1 TB.

    The problem is that most operations (coping files, etc) cause the system to page
    and send the CPU's into Wait state constantly, I have logged a call with IBM and
    they have
    come back with a few suggestions of changing vmtune parameters.

    Oracle is tuned to allow for 6W processors but I feel that the O/S is being
    restricted by something. The disks do not perform that much work (only 50% busy
    at max).

    The O/S is currently at 4.3.3 ML 10, but am considering going to ML 11.

    Has anyone out there had similar experiences and how have they been overcome.

    Spencer Johnson
