ASM_IO_PROCESSES

ASM_IO_PROCESSES specifies the number of I/O worker processes to be started in an Oracle IOServer instance.

Property	Description
Parameter type	Integer
Default value	20
Modifiable	ALTER SYSTEM
Modifiable in a PDB	No
Range of values	1 - 32
Basic	No
Oracle RAC	Multiple instances can have different values.

This parameter is applicable only in an Oracle IOServer instance, which runs out of an Oracle Grid Infrastructure home.

The default value should work in most cases. However, under heavy I/O load, there may be some delays associated with posting processes out of I/O waits. In this case, a slightly higher value than the default may be appropriate.
