Oracle RAC File I/O Monitoring Scripts

Oracle Database Tips by Donald Burleson

This is an excerpt from the bestselling Grid book Oracle 10g Grid & Real Application Clusters, by Mike Ault and Madhu Tumma. 

An excellent example of this is the monitoring of RAC file IO rates and file IO timing:

rem NAME: rac_fileio.sql
rem
rem FUNCTION: Reports on the RAC file io status of all of the
rem FUNCTION: datafiles in the database.
 
column sum_io1 new_value st1 noprint

column sum_io new_value divide_by noprint
column Percent format 999.999 heading 'Percent|Of IO'
column brratio format 999.99 heading 'Block|Read|Ratio'
column bwratio format 999.99 heading 'Block|Write|Ratio'
column phyrds heading 'Physical | Reads'
column phywrts heading 'Physical | Writes'
column phyblkrd heading 'Physical|Block|Reads'
column phyblkwrt heading 'Physical|Block|Writes'
column name format a45 heading 'File|Name'
column file# format 9999 heading 'File'

The RAC I/O balance is off between the two instances, two and three.  If only instance two or only instance three were researched, the possible I/O problem would not have been evident.

Another RAC I/O related statistic is the I/O timing. I/O timing would show if there are latency problems between the nodes. The following code shows an example file I/O timing report for RAC:

At this point, it is still important to look for unbalanced RAC I/O timings between the instances.

The final example will look at RAC system events. The following code shows the RAC report script.

The above example has been reduced to 20 events per node to make displaying the report easier. Node three is using more CPU cycles than the other nodes and is also using more db file reads and more global cache cr request  waits. At this point, node three should be reviewed for bad SQL.
