Regardless of RAC or no RAC this error is quite common in 10gr2 databases specially if it is remote database server. I have also seen this behavior on Linux server when server is quite busy for various reasons. SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT settings is now 10 seconds by default instead of 60 seconds in previous versions (if I remember correctly).

I would never be one to point fingers- I'm a DBA and do not understand the network infrastructure as well as the Network admin, but as a DBA, I do have to deal with the errors and the database is always guilty until proven innocent. We will and do get these errors unless I put in the following parameters into my sqlnet.ora file: SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME =10
INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER=0

SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 300
SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT = 300
SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT = 300

Cycle the listener and these errors disappear. Now-do I think there is most likely something amiss that I require this in my sqlnet file? Yes, most definitely.. Do I have the time or skills to figure it out? Very questionable... :)

WARNING: inbound connection timed out (ORA-3136)

We set the INBOUND CONNECTION TIMEOUT=0 in RAC AIX environments, but still get these messages.
Oracle 10.2 & 11.1

Anyone know why this would be happening?

  TIA
