Mladen, As mentioned earlier, I have lots of times funtion calls, which (my guess) relate to (60-70%)IPC send completion sync waits I got in statspack. Dont mean to fill your inboxes, but, pasting few truss lines: 26949: read(14, 01 O\0\006\0\0\0\0\011 i.., 2064) = 335 26949:

The times call is very cheap and could not possibly consume so much time. Here is what man page says: NAME times - get process and child process times SYNOPSIS #include sys/times.h clock_t times(struct tms *buffer); DESCRIPTION times() fills the structure pointed to

Do you use 1 or 2 interconnects? Does your oradebug ipc dump show both IPs? For me shows: SSKGXPT 0x3066b00 flags info for network 0 socket no 9 IP 172.168.193.2 UDP 41143 sflags SSKGXPT_UPinfo for network 1 socket no 0 IP 0.0.0.0 UDP 0

I have tested using cluster_interconnects parameter. Oradebug IPC dump shows it chooses first IP correctly, recognizes the 2nd interconnect, but with a wrong IP - 0.0.0.0. Looks like a bug.. Has anyone seen this earlier? (I understand there is a bug in HP with similar behaviour - we are on

I've seen a problem with CLIC interface, which are, for some reason, not used by oracle. It is a bug (Oxford is on HP-UX) and there is a specific one-off patch. This was OPS, not RAC. The symptoms are very similar: one of the processes was spinning like crazy in the kernel mode. However, RAC !=

Ravi: Do you have a statspack report? I would like to see that. But in any case, 45% kernel is just too much? BTW have you verified the private interconnect is used for cache fusion transfer.. Make sure the cache fusion is not going thru the public network. Best Regards, K Gopalakrishnan

Exactly. Surf over to http://www.ntp.org and follow the links to download (binaries or source), install, and configure. If it were me doing it, I'd probably setup an existing local non-RAC Internet-connected server (if available) with ntp to sync to an external stratum-2 server (see ntp docs for
