2.2.10 Checking Disk Group Balance
Files should be equally balanced across all disks. The following queries and script can be used to check disk group balance:
-
To check I/O balance, query the
V$ASM_DISK_IOSTATview before and after running a large SQL statement. For example, if a large query has a lot of reads, then the values in thereadcolumn and theread_bytescolumn should be approximately the same for all disks in the disk group. -
To check all mounted disk groups, run the script available in My Oracle Support document 367445.1.
