Hi All,

Envt Details: DB version 12.1.0.2 Apr 2019 PSU , Running on VM RHEL 7.7

We have an issue wherein we have 6 DB instances running on different VM's sharing the same host getting terminated. The background process VKTM dies and subsequently PMON terminates the instance. Raised an SR with Oracle a couple of weeks back but so far they have not been able to find the root cause.Also i did follow some of the recommendations given the below MOS notes, but that also didn't help. Prior to VKTM getting terminated , the strace just shows "nanosleep({0, 1000000}, 0x7fff29abd7f0) = 0" in its trace file. Please find the below gist file which contains strace information of VKTM process just before it got terminated.
