									Obtaining Disk I/Os using OEM   
									Introduction 
									As a DBA, you 
									are responsible for obtaining disk I/Os for 
									performance tuning purposes. The following 
									is a summary of your assigned task: 
									Covers: 
									Using the 
									�Performance Manager� tool 
									Selecting a 
									target database 
									Obtaining disk 
									I/Os 
									Using the 
									�File Read Operations� chart 
									Changing the 
									�Refresh Rate� option 
									Monitoring the 
									�Physical Reads/Sec� activity 
									Monitoring the 
									�Physical Block Reads/Sec� activity 
									  
									Hands-onIn 
									this exercise you will learn how to check 
									the I/O activity on a disk from the 
									"Performance Manager" tool using the Oracle 
									Enterprise Management tool (OEM).
 
 Expand the databases item.
 
 Select the DBS4RMAN database.
 
 Go to the "Diagnostics Pack" tools and click 
									on the "Performance Manager" icon to check 
									the I/O database.
 
 On the "Predefined Displays" window, select 
									the "File Read Operations" chart and click 
									on the "Show Chart" button.
 
 On the "File Read Operations" screen, change 
									the "Refresh Rate" from 15 seconds to 1 
									second.
 
 We wrote a procedure in the background that 
									generates lots of I/O's in the SYSTEM 
									tablespace.
 
 See how much activity is in that datafile.
 
 Check on the "Physical Reads/Sec" and 
									"Physical Block Reads/Sec."
 
 That's why you should monitor I/O activities 
									to distribute the I/O evenly among your 
									disk.
 
 Close the window with no save chart option.
 
 Close the "Oracle Performance Manager" tool.
 
 Now, the SYSTEM user has an exclusive lock 
									with no holding request lock. Well down and 
									happy customers.
