This issue can affect the Oracle server (RDBMS) running on Linux platforms.

(The warning can occur on other platforms but the required action is platform specific)



Symptoms

An asynchronous I/O limit warning of the form:
  "Warning: OS async I/O limit 128 is lower than recovery batch 1024"
may be signaled in the alert log by recovery secondary or coordinator processes if the Linux kernel has not been configured sufficiently for async IO operations.

Operations will still continue but IO operations will not be performed asynchronously which may impact recovery performance.
