Storage Contention on Device (Clariion)

The fact that a storage device (LUN) is causing a lot of I/O waits could be caused from an intensive load or as a result of two sorts of contentions: a logical contention (e.g. imbalanced activity of the database) or a physical contention (e.g. one of the underlying physical devices is being shared with another heavy I/O consuming activity).

...

■    Consider storage tiering - a faster device may reduce the I/O wait time significantly.

Storage Contention on Redo Logs and DB Files

Redo/Transaction Log files are frequently accessed by the database. The majority of the operations performed are writing commands, which cause a heavy load on the underlying disks.

Advice    It has been detected that the Redo/Transaction Log files share the storage devices (LUNs) with other database files. Consult the storage administrator about provisioning the storage devices (LUNs) better to avoid this.

UnbalancedStorageDevicesActivity
UnbalancedStorageDevicesActivity
Unbalanced Storage Devices Activity

There are several storage devices (LUNs) allocated to the instance. However, the I/O activity is not spread evenly across these storage devices. The contention on the heavy storage devices increases the response time for the activities run on them. Such a situation can be caused by imbalanced internal database activity, contention on the storage device by other applications or an inefficient RAID policy.

...

■    Consult with the storage administrator about the RAID policy. A different striping may spread the I/O load across the storage devices.
