direct path reads

To resolve the direct path reads wait event :-

Please check the below views :-

V$SESSION_EVENT ->  to identify sessions with high numbers of waits
V$SESSTAT ->  to identify sessions with high "physical reads direct" (statistic only present in newer Oracle releases)
V$FILESTAT ->  to see where the IO is occurring
V$SQLAREA ->  for statements with SORTS and high DISK_READS (which may or may not be due to direct reads)

Solution approcah :-

If the file indicates a temporary tablespace check for unexpected disk sort operations.
Ensure Parameter DISK_ASYNCH_IO -> is TRUE .
Ensure the OS asynchronous IO is configured correctly.
Check for IO heavy sessions / SQL and see if the amount of IO can be reduced.Better approach will be to look at the sql query that need to be tuned and need to run in parallel .
Please check with ASH reports to see the all the queries which have this particular wait event .
Ensure no disks are IO bound.

And in the last , Please tune the disk_asynch_io and filesystemio_options parameters .

Starting background process GTX4 and GLOBAL_TXN_PROCESSES

Starting background process GTX4 Tue Jan 01 15:51:12 2012 GTX4 started with pid=64, OS id=11122 Tue Jan 01 15:51:43 2012 Auto-tuning: Starting background process GTX5 and Auto-tuning: Shutting down background process GTXi Like messages in alert log in RAC database This event is recorded in RAC environment only, which is normal.    Its normal for the database to automatically tune the number of these processes based on the workload of XA global transactions. If any application which using XA transaction and connecting to oracle RAC database, is it required. This normal behavior and you do not have to worry about this error messages.  If you are sure that you are not using XA and want to stop these messages. You can disable the GTXn background processes, then you must set GLOBAL_TXN_PROCESSES to 0 in your parameter file. Setting this parameter to 0 will disable the XA support on an Oracle RAC database.
