Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1399123.1 : ODA CPUs Performing Slowly
A BIOS bug is causing only 1 out of every 4 CPU clock ticks to be used on ODA version 2.1.0.2.0 and lower In this Document Created from <SR 3-5211884731>
Applies to:Oracle Database Appliance - Version: Not Applicable to Not Applicable - Release: N/A to N/ALinux x86-64 SymptomsFor ODA version 2.1.0.2.0 and lower, the ODA CPUs are performing 4x slower than the very similar Exadata X2-2 CPUs.Following query gives CPUSPEEDNW around 650 : expected results should be around 2700. SQL>select PVAL1 from aux_stats$ where pname="CPUSPEEDNW"; Also: Slow performance of OneCommand patching has also been reported.
