AWR data:

Instance Activity Stats
Ordered by statistic name
Statistic Total per Second per Trans
cell physical IO interconnect bytes 798,064,968,192 8,867,820.79 116,158.51

v$sysstat will also show this statistic and other similar statistics:

SQL> select name, value from gv$sysstat where name like '%physical IO%';

NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
cell physical IO interconnect bytes 798,064,968,192
cell physical IO bytes saved during optimized file creation 0
cell physical IO bytes saved during optimized RMAN file restore 0
cell physical IO bytes eligible for predicate offload 0
cell physical IO bytes saved by storage index 0
cell physical IO interconnect bytes returned by smart scan 0
cell simulated physical IO bytes eligible for predicate offload 0
cell simulated physical IO bytes returned by predicate offload 0

Symptoms

When exadata hardware is not being used, but awr statistics or v$sysstat show exadata like statistics, it causes concern about a configuration or installation problem. Why are these statistics present?
