Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: surprising result:8CPU Sun 3500 VS 4CPU Dell 6650
-----Original Message-----
I am also having a weird performance issue with a sun box - mine is a new
v880 4 cpu (900mz) with 16g of ram and a 2 T hitachi san.
My first suspicion would involve the SAN. We have one system here that, for
whatever reason, (sorry, I'm not the SAN expert), the computer and the
storage system do not work well with each other. As a result, disk writes
are VERY slow. This affects both large data inserts and updates, and large
sorts (such as reports) that require the use of on-disk temp space. I've
been told that the particular version of the OS (Tru64) doesn't work
properly with the cache on this storage system. They are in the process of
changing the version of the OS.
