We are currently running CentOS 5 update 4 on a Dell R910 server 16 cores/32 hyperthreaded with 64GB of memory. It is our main Oracle 11g DB server for one of our customers and is attached to an MD 3000 storage array. We are having a load averaging around 5 but see no swap in use, CPUs are pretty much idle and no I/O wait. We have Oracle dataguard turned on in transactional mode. I've checked everything that I can think of, there are no Oracle processes running which would cause a spike. Anyone have any ideas as to what to check next?
I have another R910 configured the same way and do not see any issues with the 3 databases running on that server. The load is at .5.
Do you have sar (sysstat) installed and running? That will gather stats 1x per minute on the server and you can see more than what a typical 'top' will show you. You can also graph the output using ksar, which will make it easier to see things. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
sar is showing a 99.6% idle cpu, this box only has an oracle db running on
it.
It has dataguard which keeps it in sync with the DR server over a vpn.
Here is vmstat output:

No processes in D status or zombies
The NFS mounts are fine too, only two of them and they have users home directories and no one logged onto the system.
It is also hooked up to a MD3000 where the db and oracle files are stored, the md3000 isn't showing any alerts. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
