Oracle Database Recommended I/O Size on EMC Unity
Hi,
What is recommended value for I/O size for Oracle Database on EMC Unity Hybrid/All-Flash array?
db_file_multiblock_read_count is set to 16 but we have large I/O size on storage and this situation increasing service time and response time. The I/O size is near to 1MB.
No Events found!

The issue was related to “max_sectors_kb” value on Linux.
I think that EMC should add recommendation value to best practices or connectivity guide for EMC Unity.
Also read my blog post about that: I/O Block Size Best Practice on EMC All Flash/Hybrid Flash Array and Linux (Physical And Virtual) - Davoud Teimouri - Virtualization and Data Center

Hi,
The e-lab navigator could help with having the right configuration https://dell.to/3E0lvb9
You could try 32 or 8, I don’t see any specific official recommendations. Maybe someone else in the community can say what they have set it to.

Thank you. Actually archive log LUNs generating large I/O size always and when other disk groups generating larger than 128KB, then LUNs response time will be increased.
I couldn't find root cause of generating large I/O size from archive log disks.
