> We are running Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 on a new Compaq Tru64 cluster running
5.1
> patchkit 1. We have had Oracle running for almost 2 months. For the last
> several days, we have been experiencing severe I/O issues. The databases
> will freeze-up and claim that they can't access certain files.
> Occassionally even 'ls' commands will lock up to, but only when accessing
> certain sub-directories of file systems.
> Naturally, we are trying to figure out what has changed in the last few
> days. We know that the Legatto Networker client was installed, and we
also
> had a UPS failure. In an attempt to isolate the problem, we have removed
> the Legatto Networker client. Our sysadmins are not seeing any problems
at
> the hardware level. We have completed powered the cluster down and
brought
> it back up. When the databases begin locking up, we do see error messages
> related to various file systems come across the console. For a few days,
we
> thought it might be RMAN, but I haven't used it in the last 2 days and the
> problems are still occurring.
> So, my question is - are any of you folks on a Tru64 5.1 cluster and if
> so, have you seen similar problems? The systems include 3 GS80s, an ES40,
> and a Storage Area Network for the disks. We are not running OPS and we
are
> not using raw devices.
