Re: Database down

Well, I think the issue is two-fold.

  1. They have been tinkering with user sessions, and the trace file output below is discussed on Steve Adams' website.
                        PMON unable to acquire latch 80002060
modify parameter values
                        possible holder pid = 58 ospid=29937
                        2001.12.09.15.27.43.000

    I'm reviewing the settings in /etc/system. It is my belief that the additional application server pushed Oracle over some threshhold set in /etc/system.

    We are not running multi-threaded server, and we now have three application servers.

2. The issue with the patch has to do with my inability to restart the damn server due to an 'ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment'. I've asked our UNIX admin to verify we have the following patch:

                  PATCH 105181-07 

     We are running 8.0.6 on Solaris 2.6. There are some issues
with the sgadef.dbf file upon shutdown. This is only supposed to occur on a shutdown abort, but I've seen it occur on a shutdown immediate. I do not know if this patch specifically addresses the lingering sgadef.dbf file.

Jeff,

I had a similar situation last week. I would like to know what patch are
talking about and what's your version of Oracle?

Regards,
Ed
