All We are attempting to move some applications off Compaq T64 into Sun Solaris 8 and running into performance issues.
I am trying to rebuild an index which is taking more than 3 1/2 hours while it used to take < 20 min on T64. I find most of the waits on DIRECT PATH READS and DIRECT PATH WRITES. The index tablespace and the temporary tablespace are on separate mountpoints which reside on separate disks. I am doing a "truss" on the session and see that its doing the following kaio(AIOWAIT, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) Err#22 EINVAL pread(364, "\b02\0\0\v\099E1 f h ECB".., 1048576, 0x26784000) = 1048576 kaio(AIOWAIT, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) Err#22 EINVAL lwp_cond_wait(0xFFFFFFFF7CED7F70, 0xFFFFFFFF7CED7F80, 0x00000000) = 0 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC41007 f h SDD".., 49152, 0x10401C000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410\n f h SDD".., 49152, 0x104028000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410\r f h SDD".., 49152, 0x104034000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC41010 f h SDD".., 49152, 0x104040000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC41013 f h SDD".., 49152, 0x10404C000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC41016 f h SDD".., 49152, 0x104058000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC41019 f h SDD".., 49152, 0x104064000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC4101C f h SDD".., 49152, 0x104070000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC4101F f h SDD".., 49152, 0x10407C000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 " f h SDD".., 49152, 0x104088000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 % f h SDD".., 49152, 0x104094000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 ( f h SDD".., 49152, 0x1040A0000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 + f h SDD".., 49152, 0x1040AC000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 . f h SDD".., 49152, 0x1040B8000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 1 f h SDD".., 49152, 0x1040C4000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 4 f h SDD".., 49152, 0x1040D0000) = 49152 fdsync(408, O_RDONLY|O_SYNC) = 0 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 7 f h SDE".., 49152, 0x1040DC000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 : f h SDE".., 49152, 0x1040E8000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 = f h SDE".., 49152, 0x1040F4000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 @ f h SDE".., 49152, 0x104100000) = 49152 pwrite(408, "0602\0\0\nC410 C f h SDE".., 49152, 0x10410C000) = 49152 lwp_cond_wait(0xFFFFFFFF7CF0DF70, 0xFFFFFFFF7CF0DF80, 0x00000000) = 0 lwp_cond_signal(0xFFFFFFFF7CF0DF70) = 0 pread(364, "\b02\0\0\v\09A ! f h ECB".., 16384, 0x26884000) = 16384 I think it is trying to do a KAIO call and failing. Then it attempts a synchronous PWRITE call. But our SAs are not able to help us to confirm this. Have any of you seen this issue? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. I'll gladly provide you with addl info if you need.
