Hi listers!

I found this note in Metalink yesterday and decided to try it...and it worked!

Problem Description


Your database has crashed last night. Checking alert.log reveals the following error:
kcf:write/open error block=3D0x510 online=3D1 file=3D2 file is /u02/oradata/wod022/temp101.dbf error=3D27063 txt;=20 ('ibm aix rics sytem/6000 error 11 resource temporary unavailable. Additional information -1
Additional information 4096
Automatic datafile offline due to write error on /u02/oradata/wod022/temp101.dbf

You have check your hardware and everything seems normal.

Solution Description


You need to check the setting of AIX kernel parameter maxservers, = minservers
and
maxreqs. Make sure that minservers and maxservers are set to at least = 40 and
80
respectively. Also make sure that maxreqs is set to at least 8192 or = higher.

Explanation


This problem is async IO related and IBM is very much aware of it.

Hi

I think this error has to do with the DBWR batch size limit. The value may be set too high.
The default is=20
db_files * db_file_simultaneous_writes / 2

To check the current value

select kviidsc,kviival from sys.x$kvii
where kviitag in ('kcbswc','kcbscc')
/

This will give you the size of your DBWR batch size limit. To lower this limit decrease the value for db_files=20 or decrease db_file_simultaneous_writes in=20 you initSID.ora.

If you set the DBWR batch size limit too high, on some relaeses of = Oracle
it is possible to generate batches larger than the maximum number of simultaneous asynchronous writes suported by the O/S. The writes would fail and messages would be sent to the alert log.

This could be the reason for the messages in your alert log.
