Write Throughput

Description

This metric shows the write throughput detail of a disk group mounted in an Automatic Storage Management (ASM) instance. This gives an indication for the total number of bytes written from the disk group with proportion to the total write time for this disk group in an instance.

Metric Summary

The rest of the information in this section is only valid for this metric when it appears in either the Enterprise Manager Grid Control or the Enterprise Manager Database Control (if applicable).

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Data Source

It is calculated using the Instance Disk Performance metric which in turn collects data from the GV$ASM_DISKGROUP and GV$ASM_DISK views for 10g Release 1 and the GV$ASM_DISKGROUP_STAT and GV$ASM_DISK_STAT views for 10g Release 2.

To calculate the average write throughput of each disk, the total number of bytes written is divided by the total write time during the collection interval. This data is aggregated by the disk group name to get the average write throughput of a disk group. The data is displayed for all instances that are part of the cluster.
