9.6.9 Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software Performance Statistics in AWR Reports

Exadata Storage Server configuration and performance statistics are collected in the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR), and the data is available in the AWR report. The Oracle Exadata section of the AWR report is available in HTML or active report format.

The following sections are three main sections in the AWR report:

  • Exadata Server Configuration: Hardware model information, software versions, and storage configuration

  • Exadata Server Health Report: Offline disks and open alerts

  • Exadata Performance Statistics: Operating system statistics, storage server software statistics, smart scan statistics, and statistics by databases

The AWR report provides storage level performance statistics, not restricted to a specific instance or a database. This is useful for analyzing cases where one database can affect the performance of another database.

Configuration differences are highlighted using specific colors for easy analysis. For example, a cell with a different software release than the other cells, or a cell with different memory configuration than the other cells are highlighted.

Outliers are automatically analyzed and presented for easy performance analysis. Outliers are appropriately colored and linked to detailed statistics.

Minimum software: Oracle Database release 12.1.0.2, and Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software release 12.1.2.1.0.
