We upgraded our server from 4 cpus and 1 gig of ram to 8 cpus and 4 gig
of ram. The cpus are twice as fast and are 64-bit. We used the same
number of mount points, but changed the blocksize from 4k to 8k. The new
system seems to perform ok, but I see 50%+ wait times when I run
monitor. I looked for hot files, busy buffers and heavy sql, but don't
see anything. I also ran iostat. Is there anything else I can do to see
what the wait is from? Our sa said the machine is so much faster, that
the disks are causing the high waits. There has to be a way to see what
it is waiting on or where the wait is at.
Thanks,
Steve
