Matt, try with netstat -s and see whether you have packet counts
increasing.
On Linux, there is "watch" command which can repeat given command in
regular intervals. See the packet counts with watch -n 5 "netstat -i".
Common wisdom tells you that if it isn't disk-related, it must be
network-related. Personally, I always blame the network first. That
keeps
the network guys on their toes. Your database may be synchronizing and
reconfiguring PCL lock database, which is a joyous process which
freezes both instances. There is a definite logic there. If neither
instance works, then you cannot brak any of them. Hence, the Oracle is
unbreakable, as in the marketing papers.
