Which statement can be an inference from the output?

Exhibit:

A.
The FRA disk group has an asynchronous I/O bottleneck

B.
The least number of I/Os are performed on the last data file in the list

C.
The number of times that the backup or restore process directed the OS to wait until an I/O was complete is the highest for the last data file in the list

D.
The number of times that the backup or restore process made an OS call to poll for I/O completion in Nonblocking mode is the least for the FRA disk group

Monitoring Asynchronous I/O
To monitor asynchronous I/O operations, you use the dynamic performance view V$BACKUP_ASYNC_IO. The key columns to watch are the following:

– IO_COUNT: Number of I/Os performed on the file

– LONG_WAITS: Number of times the backup or restore process had to tell the OS to wait for the I/O to
complete

– SHORT_WAIT_TIME_TOTAL: Total time, in hundredths of a second, taken for nonblocking polling for
I/O completion

– LONG_WAIT_TIME_TOTAL: Total time, in hundredths of a second, taken while blocking waits for
I/O completion

The largest ratio of LONG_WAITS to IO_COUNT is a likely bottleneck in the backup process.

SHORT_WAIT_TIME_TOTAL and LONG_WAIT_TIME_TOTAL are also indicators of a bottleneck if they are nonzero.

This example identifies two input files with nonzero ratios:
SQL> select long_waits / io_count waitcountratio, filename
2 from v$backup_async_io
3 where long_waits / io_count > 0
4 order by long_waits / io_count desc;

utobackup/2008_07_31/o1_mf_s_661554862_%
u_.bkpSQL>

For these two files, you may consider increasing the multiplexing to decrease or eliminate the wait times when backing them up.

Exam Tip:
If you are using synchronous I/O but you have set BACKUP_DISK_IO_SLAVES to TRUE, then the I/O performance is monitored in V$BACKUP_ASYNC_IO.
