There are several storage devices (LUNs) allocated to the instance. However, the I/O activity is not spread evenly across these storage devices. The contention on the heavy storage devices increases the response time for the activities run on them. Such a situation can be caused by imbalanced internal database activity, contention on the storage device by other applications or an inefficient RAID policy.

What to do next

n   Examine the storage devices statistics.
Advice
