Subject: RE: log buffer space wait
I have one question regarding these wait times, may be dump. In the following wait events what is the unit of measurement for Time, I believe its in seconds as per the documentation. If yes then here stats are collected for only 51.23 Minutes (Appx 3073 seconds), how come Oracle is showing 566,516 seconds wait for log buffer space. I would appreciate if someone can explain.
Thanks

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 ?
