Average Sync I/O Times Graph

The Average Async I/O Times graph plots the average amount of time spent performing asynchronous reads and writes for a tablespace. It contains separate series for reads and writes:

  • Reads —Shown in light blue, this series plots the average amount of time performing asynchronous reads for a tablespace.

  • Writes —Shown in orange, this series plots the average amount of time performing asynchronous writes for a tablespace.

The times spent on asynchronous reads and writes are averaged from statistics accumulated since a database was started or statistics were reset. They are shown in milliseconds on the vertical axis. Check these values along the horizontal axis to see how average times are changing over consecutive monitoring intervals of ten minutes.

Note: View the Statistics tab to see counts for asynchronous reads, writes, and read requests.

About asynchronous reads and writes

Asynchronous reads are performed by asynchronous engine dispatchable units ( EDUs ). They are asynchronous in that they occur ahead of requests from agents. Asynchronous writes are performed by database manager page cleaners. They are asynchronous in that they occur independently of query processing, in anticipation of the need for space in a buffer pool.
