What are the top wait events in the database? As Jared said, the top SQL from a Statspack will tell you what SQL is performing high physical reads, but the top wait events will tell you just what Oracle is waiting on. If it's doing I/O, it's waiting on something.

  even after the startup restrict also the below is the WIO:

  $ sar -u 2 5
  SunOS oracle 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u 10/24/2005

  12:09:30    %usr    %sys    %wio   %idle
  12:09:32      11       6      64      19
  12:09:34      12       7      66      16

    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.
