Thanks Mogens, It works great with no parallelism set. But when parallelism is set to DEFAULT it fails (intermittently). The tables are imported from a Non-Rac production environment. Found a note on Metalink last night which says DEFAULT is calculated as : CPU_COUNT*PARALLEL_THREADS_PER_CPU and DOP is DEFAULT * INSTANCES. The DOP it was using was 48 (6 cpus*4 thr/cpu*2 instances) This is the same setting in Production(infact with more cpus and hence larger DOP) but has been running fine. I guess the issue is magnified due to slaves being spawned at the other node and the QC sync'ing with them. I see huge number 'IPC send completion sync' events during this time. I had to alter degree from 'Default' to 2 for some tables and disable parallelism to smaller lookup tables to get it working. These went unnoticed in a single instance box. Thanks, Ravi.
