Hi,
The following warning messages are logged into Database whenever Oracle has encountered problems while trying to perform asynchronous I/O. This could be due to heavy I/O intensive operation, short of memory for Buffer Cache and sort operations in the database.
We feel that the immediate solution is to restart the database by disabling asynchronous I/O in the database. (By setting the following parameters in the init.ora file of the database : disk_asynch_io = false, dbwr_io_slaves to any value other than Zero), until the root cause of the problem need is identified.
This is the Warning Message that we are getting
WARNING: aiowait timed out 1 times
WARNING: aiowait timed out 2 times
WARNING: aiowait timed out 3 times
WARNING: aiowait timed out 4 times
WARNING: aiowait timed out 5 times
WARNING: aiowait timed out 6 times
WARNING: aiowait timed out 7 times
WARNING: aiowait timed out 8 times
WARNING: aiowait timed out 9 times
Can anyone help us out for the above problem
Regards
Vivek

Hi,
See Metalink Note:222989.1 "Warning "aiowait timed out 1 times" in alert.log"
Possible fixes as per the above mentioned note:
1. Restart the database without asynchronous I/O
2. Reduce I/O load on the system from this and other databases
3. Check all Oracle prerequisites for O/S and I/O subsystem configuration
4. Check for known O/S issues with Asynchronous I/O operation
Best regards.
Frank

Hi,
If you get this error on a SUN Solaris system, also look at the following SunSolve document:
Sun Alert ID: 28311
Synopsis: Persistent Write Contention for File System Files May Result in Degraded I/O Performance
Impact: File system I/O performance at the application level appears to be very slow or hung
Symptoms:
WARNING: aiowait timed out %d times
... or
ORA-27062: skgfospo: could not find pending async I/Os
Best regards.
