Re: _tru64_directio_disabled param Value on Digital Tru64 Unix

So you got a performance improvement by
*disabling* DirectIO  (ie, by setting _tru64_directio_disabled=TRUE) ?

I joined in on this thread a little bit late.  I just did a little
experimentation with this parameter, and all that I can say is WOW!  This is
the equivalent of the mythical _make_sql_run_faster!

My quick tests on 8.1.7.2 on both Tru64 5.1 pk3 and 5.1a pk1:

Query1 : Avg. of 1.13 sec improved to .11 sec.
Query2 : Avg. of 11.78 sec improved to 2.12 sec.
Query3 : Avg. of .75 sec improved to .08 sec.

This included multiple runs of each query, with a database bounce in between
of course.

So, what is the catch?

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/29/02 02:26PM 

Quote from a person who has had researched this thoroughly at our site -

Oracle 8.1.6 and later releases check to see if they are running
on Tru64 5.0a or later operating system revision.If so, the RDBMS
automatically uses the directio mode to open the database files.

Directio bypasses the operating system (ADVFS file system) caching and is
more efficient; however, ADVFS does not cache any data or pre-fetch read
data.For single block random reads directio is a performance
improvement--there is less O/S overhead and Oracle does a good job of
managing the buffer cache.   However, Oracle does not hold multiple block
reads in its cache, so if your workload involves a large number of
multi-block reads directio is a performance detriment.The blocks are
not cached, so re-reads require physical I/O for each read, and Oracle does
not pre-fetch data as ADVFS does, so the application incurs more I/O wait.

Also, any subsequent access after a file is opened in directio mode
inherits the directio mode.   This may impact other applications reading
the files outside of the database activity--for example backup.

In our experience using the Oracle Applications (ERP) suite,  overall
performance was better with directio disabled.

By default directio is enabled if running 8.1.6 or later and Tru64 5.0a or
later.The flag to disable was introduced in 8.1.7.2, I believe.   We
were told not to run 8.1.7.2 on Tru64 (buggy), so we have implemented
8.1.7.3.

The default operating mode is:

_tru64_directio_disabled = FALSE

This enables directio.   If you set it TRUE, then the RDBMS I/O will
function as it did before--using normal I/O.   There is not a lot of risk
in changing this option, and directio may prove to be advantageous for a
heavy OLTP environment.   I would recommend testing outside of Production
if at all possible.

If you mean it is SAFE to set this parameter to Either Value , Thanks

Are there any Guidelines to Set this Value for Best Performance ?

Vivek - I don't know if you checked Google, but the following page has some
information. http://www.ixora.com.au/notes/direct_io.htm
It sounds like on Tru64 5.0 this is yes by default, so you would only be
setting it no.
And sure I always try out new settings on the production server.

The 8.1.7.2.0 Patchset for Tru64 was withdrawn
and replaced by the 8.1.7.2.1 Patchset.
You would be applying the patchset on top of an
8.1.7.0.0 or 8.1.7.1.0 or 8.1.7.1.0B installation.

8.1.7 is certified on Tru64 5.1
