It seems the problem is with oracle.  

Now when I shutdown the WIO is 0% AND when i start oracle, it is showing WIO as 80-90%  

$ sar -u 2 4
SunOS oracle 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u 10/24/2005

11:54:39    %usr    %sys    %wio   %idle
11:54:41       4       4      85       6
11:54:43       1       2      83      14
11:54:45       1       2      81      16
11:54:47       2       2      82      13

how to find out why oracle is causing this high WIO ?  

can someone help me

Yes,  

When the db was down, there was no change in WIO.  

Means, the databse connections are not casing this high WIO.

Michael McMullen <ganstadba_at_hotmail.com> wrote: OK, but when you had the outage and the database was down did you verify that wio went down, therefore ruling out the o/s? I had a similar problem once, huge i/o, I shutdown the database no i/o problem. On succesful startup and open, huge i/o. I was using startup restrict. The i/o was oracle doing a parallel transaction recovery even after the database was open. Lucky it was a box where I could rebuild users becuase my solution was to drop the user.

Its a production database. The outage window completed. I can no longer take it down.
