    Oracle Database running slow on ZFS Solaris

    Hi All,

    We recently moved our oracle database (ver 9.2.0.8, Solaris 9, UFS ) to a new T5120 Sun Server.

    Since moving to ZFS oracle queries are running very slow (almost 50% slow).

    I have tried to change a oracle parameters but still no improvement.

    I have created 8K files system for oracle database files and indexes as described on a forum.

    The query is (a simple select ) taking very long time.

    Timing:

    real 2m20.192s
    user 1m52.123s
    sys 0m22.978s


    Could someone, please advise where else to look at.

    Provided information is out of context and really means nothing.

    Have you compared execution plans? old server vs. new server?
    Does the technology refresh includes new storage subsystem?
    Have you compared wait events? old server vs. new server?
    Are database setup identical? old server vs. new server?
    Have you moved to an upper version of Oracle during the technology refresh?
    Would you mind in describing "how" you moved the database to the new server?

    Hi Paul

    thanks your reply.

    I created the database from scratch and then imported all the data using oracle import.

    All the hit ratio are very good

    Library Cache Data Dictionary Cache Buffer Cache Hit Ratio
    99.92 99.57 80.64
    99.91 99.56 80.21

    A simple querty (select code,sum(1) from customers ....)

    taking 3 time more time on the new server.

    Is there any parameter required for ZFS for improve performance.

    I'm seeing you have answered none but the last question.

    Let me add a new one to the list... how init.ora files compare?

    Have you compared execution plans? old server vs. new server?

    Yes, I have compared both execution plan and the are identicals.

    oh the new server, plan is
    Rows Plan
    ------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    30 SELECT STATEMENT
    30 SORT GROUP BY
    36,029,373 INDEX FAST FULL SCAN IDX3_WM_JOB_HEADER_NARR

    old the old server 30
    SELECT STATEMENT

    30
    SORT GROUP BY

    34,803,182
    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN IDX3_WM_JOB_HEADER_NARR

    ----------




    Have you moved to an upper version of Oracle during the technology refresh?

    No, we are still on the same verion and same patch no.

    By mistake, We have installed Enterprise version on the new server.

    Would you mind in describing "how" you moved the database to the new server?

    We exported the full data using oracle export import.

    Old Server

    Please do a 10046 trace of the offending query, both on the old and new server.
    Check how wait events compare.
