大多数操作系统支持异步I/O。
备份到磁盘,异步I/O是一个优势,因为一个服务器进程同时可以执行多个I/O操作;同步I/O必须等上一个I/O操作完成才可以执行下一个I/O操作。
初始化参数disk_asynch_io控制oracle异步I/O操作行为。如果操作系统支持异步I/O,oracle建议设置该参数为true。
如果操作系统不支持异步I/O,可以设置dbwr_io_slaves参数为非零值来调优I/O性能。(如果设置为非零值,会增加数据库进程的数量,需要增加processes的值)
如果使用的是磁带备份,查看视图v$backup_sync_io中的列effective_bytes_per_second。如果该值比磁带设备的最大吞吐小,表明磁带设备不是streaming(连续写) 。
此外,对于磁带设备,可以比较backup validate命令和实际备份任务的时间,如果时间明显比实际备份任务时间小,表明磁带的写能力很可能是瓶颈。
可以通过以下两个试图,监控异步I/O和同步I/O:
·v$backup_async_io:查看备份或者还原操作的异步I/O
·v$backup_symc_io:查看备份或者还原的同步I/O性能。
在这两个试图中,effective_bytes_per_second列的含义:Read/write rate for device during backup or restore.
备份或还原操作中,异步I/O的监控信息:
