I like that guess - I think it fits symptoms rather nicely.
Just do a few "select * from v$datafile" or "select * from V$filestat" and watch the control file read count climb.

Apart from what Timur and Jonathan already said, If you want to guess it can be monitoring script(most probably space checker) with an inefficient plan or unnecessary intervals

Hi Vijay
You may try to find SQL id and SQL plan id from ASH for 'control file sequential read' events and go from there Something like
select sql_id, sql_plan_line_id, count(*)
from v$ash
where event = ...
Group by ...
It may not give you anything though and then you may need to trace some sessions to find the definitive answer

I have a few questions with respect to above, if further details are required please revert and I would provide the same.
Log switch during this period was 12 per hour (derived from AWR). I have raised this with the team.
- IOStat by Filetype shows reads from control file as 31.9G. I am not sure why would database be reading 31.9 GB from control file? (There was no backup being performed during this interval).
- How do I investigate this further, I don't have access to production box. I will have to give queries to DBA team to get the details. So any pointed queries, would be helpful.
- Would Direct Path Reads be causing this? if yes how do I dig more information to correlate these.
- I tried to do some search on the wait event "control file sequential read" and found that using Subquery factoring could cause "control file sequential reads". But the issue was fixed in 11.1.7.0.1. Are there any other known issues which could cause this problem.
Your help is much appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Vijay Sehgal
