About top resource-consuming entities
...
Oracle RAC allows two or more instances to simultaneously access a single database. This allows an application to connect to either computer and have access to the same data. Because all instances access the same database, it is essential that data changes on different computers are coordinated. The RAC Database tab displays activities related to the RAC database, such as top RAC events, top objects experiencing RAC wait, and a graph comparing the time spent by the selected instance In Oracle vs. the average time spent by all instances in the same RAC database. This lets you monitor the RAC activity in your system and check how well Oracle is synchronizing its buffer pool caches.
Table 3- 5 RAC Database tab display
| Display | Description |
|---|---|
| In Oracle: Instance vs. All Instances in Same RAC database (Avg.) | Displays a graph comparing the time spent by the selected instance In Oracle vs. the average time spent by all instances In Oracle, in the same RAC database. This indicates whether or not the database is balanced. |
| Top RAC Events | Displays the top RAC events experienced by the selected instance. Lets you compare the average amount of time spent by the top RAC wait events of all the instances in the RAC database to the amount of RAC wait time spent by the selected instance. |
| Top Objects Experiencing RAC Wait | Displays the top objects experiencing RAC wait, sorted by how much they suffered from RAC wait. Lets you compare the average amount of time spent by the top objects of all the instances in the RAC database to the amount of RAC wait time spent by the objects of the selected instance. It also displays the object name and schema name of the object and indicates whether it is a table, index or cluster. The launch icon lets you launch directly to the Objects tab with the selected object in context, to continue your analysis. |
