Hi,
I am probably not gonna get any reply but I should do this on general principles anyway. I am using the "top" command on a machine and am seeing 61% iowait. Now in terms machine is a Solaris 2.7 E4500. Is this usual ? I have an oracle instance on the machine. I am trying to tune it and I have started from system level to see if there is anything I can improve. Seems like 61% iowait seems a little high to me. It is probably coming from contention from disks. Question is, is this value normal for iowait or not ? Thnx...

PS. Better be that group, I don't think sys. adm. are into tuning...
