Few more questions:
Disks are assigned directly (FC adapters) or through VIO?
Those are 2 disks in mirror?
What is the pp and block size on you VG/filesystems.
But I agree with zxmous it does not looks like memory or cpu issue then only thing what left is storage.
Maybe you just got unlucky and got disks from pool shared with other heavy used systems.
Have you been trying to compare db IO stats a specially storage IO response time ?

FSCK(8) BSD System Manager's Manual FSCK(8)
NAME
fsck -- filesystem consistency check and interactive repair
SYNOPSIS
fsck -p [-f]
fsck [-l maxparallel] [-q] [-y] [-n] [-d]
DESCRIPTION
The first form of fsck preens a standard set of filesystems or the specified filesystems. It is normally used in the script /etc/rc during
automatic reboot. Here fsck reads the filesystem descriptor table (using getfsent(3)) to determine which filesystems to check. Only parti-
tions that have ``rw,'' ``rq'' or ``ro'' as options, and that have non-zero pass number are checked. Filesystems with pass number 1 (nor-
mally just the root filesystem) are checked one at a time. When pass 1 completes, all remaining filesystems are checked, running one process
per disk drive. The disk drive containing each filesystem is inferred from the shortest prefix of the device name that ends in one or more
digits; the remaining characters are assumed to be the partition designator. In preening mode, filesystems that are marked clean are
skipped. Filesystems are marked clean when they are unmounted, when they have been mounted read-only, or when fsck runs on them success-
fully.
It should be noted that fsck is now essentially a wrapper that invokes other fsck_XXX utilities as needed. Currently, fsck can invoke
fsck_hfs, fsck_msdos, fsck_exfat, and fsck_udf. If this underlying process that fsck invokes encounters serious inconsistencies or the
filesystem type is not one of the above, it exits with an abnormal return status and an automatic reboot will then fail. For each corrected
inconsistency one or more lines will be printed identifying the filesystem on which the correction will take place, and the nature of the
correction.
If sent a QUIT signal, fsck will finish the filesystem checks, then exit with an abnormal return status that causes an automatic reboot to
fail. This is useful when you want to finish the filesystem checks during an automatic reboot, but do not want the machine to come up multi-
user after the checks complete.
Without the -p option, fsck audits and interactively repairs inconsistent conditions for filesystems. It should be noted that some of the
corrective actions which are not correctable under the -p option will result in some loss of data. The amount and severity of data lost may
be determined from the diagnostic output. If the operator does not have write permission on the filesystem fsck will default to a -n action.
The following flags are interpreted by fsck and passed along to the underlying tool that it spawns.
-f Force fsck to check `clean' filesystems when preening.
-l Limit the number of parallel checks to the number specified in the following argument. By default, the limit is the number of
disks, running one process per disk. If a smaller limit is given, the disks are checked round-robin, one filesystem at a time.
-p "Preen" mode, described above.
-q Do a quick check to determine if the filesystem was unmounted cleanly.
-y Assume a yes response to all questions asked by fsck; this should be used with great caution as this is a free license to con-
tinue after essentially unlimited trouble has been encountered.
-n Assume a no response to all questions asked by fsck except for 'CONTINUE?', which is assumed to be affirmative; do not open the
filesystem for writing.
If no filesystems are given to fsck then a default list of filesystems is read using getfsent(3).
Because of inconsistencies between the block device and the buffer cache, the raw device should always be used.
