How may disks are in the vg for the db? How many disk are in the vg for the mirror of the db? How big are the disk drives?
I assume that when you watch topas you see very high wait-for-I/O percent and little actual cpu being used. Does a iostat show even activity on the disks for db and log?

To be more clear. The 4 D40's are a mixture of database, logs and disk pools. One VG for database, one for mirrored database and one for data storage pools. Four full D40's just for a database would be quite unnecessary. No raid anywhere, all raw disk consisting of one LV per disk no matter if it is database, log or disk pool related. Mirrors are absolutely on separate spindles which are also on separate D40's.
