At a Benchmark a
particular Processing + DML intensive batch Job (Accounts Interest
Calculation) is experiencing
�log buffer space� wait
.
Config
:-
On Solaris 9
Cpu_count =
72
Oracle
9.2
Online Redo logfiles are
on a RAID 0+1 Volume (NOT Raw or RAID 1) Log_buffer = 10 M
$ sar Command Outpuit %wio
only about 6 % for Volume containing the redo logfiles
Database in NOARCHIVELOG
mode
Qs. How can we reduce this
wait event ? Would RAW / RAID 1 for redo logfiles help ?
Qs. Could this be a Bug
?
