Re: Process died -- no info in trace files

Could you have your sysadmin do a sysctl -A? I suspect some of the needed kernel settings related to Oracle may not be set properly.

Subject: Re: Process died -- no info in trace files

Now, we have seen this error in the production box as well. Earlier it was at QA


Process m000 died, see its trace file

ksvcreate: Process(m000) creation failed


Just thinking out loud, if its something related to OS,  how can it be hit in two different boxes at almost the save time? Can this be a bug? I'm just getting stumped. Can someone plz help me?

Now in trach=e

has similar errors but for different processes. Could the underlying cause be the same . 

Cause
This is caused by lack of OS configuration, where more memory is required as OS reached the limits set.

Sorry, I was looking the trace files in the bdump directory.

When I checked the traces at udump, I found following in some of them:

Process P003 is dead (pid=25576, state=3):
kxfpg1srv
        could not start local P003
*** 2009-04-15 14:03:56.381
Process P003 is dead (pid=25580, state=3):
kxfpg1srv
        could not start local P003
*** 2009-04-15 14:03:57.384
Process P003 is dead (pid=25582, state=3):
kxfpg1srv
        could not start local P003
*** 2009-04-15 14:03:58.387
Process P003 is dead (pid=25584, state=3):
kxfpg1srv
        could not start local P003
*** 2009-04-15 14:03:59.417
Process P003 is dead (pid=25586, state=3):
kxfpg1srv
        could not start local P003



Does this ring a bell?

The wording of your post ("I really dont see anything in the trace
file") makes me think that you are looking in the alert file or
something similar. You should look for .trc files under the directory
defined as "user_dump_dest" in you parameter files (cd ../udump from the
directory where you alert file is located should take you to the right
place).
