Shameless self promotion:

I was in you shoes about one year ago (except not on Rac). I wrote an article about issues on Metalink and published it to Metalink. 427993.1. Look for suggestions on /3G switch.

I would start from the ground up to make sure the basic configurations of both nodes are ok and the scp/rcp is set up correctly, interconnects, listeners, voting disks etc.

I would do some basic transfers from one box to the other and see how those times look

There is also a cluster utility (cvu, on Linux at least to check to see if all the setups for Rac are done correctly. I would assume Windows would have a utility as wel

Is the second server have good response when it is running alone as well?

Check your sqlnet.ora settings on each server. Is there a timeout set there?

Don’t accept the answer that ‘the hardware supports it’ but VERIFY that it is negotiating at that speed.
  2)       Ora-4031 – not enough memory in shared pool.
  3)       Global cache issues:  again, network issues can affect this.  Make sure all sequences have cache values, as this can hurt performance and is often overlooked.

Subject: Fwd: RAC on windows 2003 - 32-bit - nightmare

I have just inherited a RAC 2 node database: Using DELL Poweredge 2950 Servers with 16GB RAM and DELL power vault MD3000 SAS Storage:

I have previously absolutely no experience on Windows, as Im UNIX and LINUX and as I mentioned I inherited this built.

The problem is that when both Nodes are up and running there are many problems:

1)running a 5 minute export takes 5 hours and times out - session_wait says busy_buffer

2)ora600 and ora-04031 errors on client and eventually cant log in

3)tns12170 errors intermittently when logging in

4) lots off warnings of global_cacahe_wait excessive:

When we switch one node of the performance and everything runs normally. I have been told this is the 3rd build of this system and it happened everytime.

I am suspecting the network right config right now.

Please any suggestions from you guys would be highly appreciative.
