Re: [suse-oracle] Server Hang, Program or HW?

Yes and no.

yes, k. 244 can be used and if you dont run aio, I am not aware of any particular problems. Not, because as any 'release' or 'sp*' kernel, 
this kernel had some problems (at least in some scsi cases such as iSCSI) and so it's always better to upgrade at least 1 kernel ahead.

For now, 2 kernels (and consistant upgrades) are known as a very stable
k. 287 - last kernel in SP3 upgrades
k. 312 - current kernel in SP4 upgrade.
In all cases when I mean 'kernel' I mean full system uprade with all rpm's consistant to YOU repository.

Keep in mind, that your problem can be not in the kernel or SuSe. For example, it can be in the wrong interface card or in the incompatible SCSI driver.

PS. We use, with an excellent stability:
 SLES9 SP3 x86_64, iSCSI, kernel 287, reiserfs + lvm + 'SETALL' filesystemio setting.

Less stability but system is a lab system so it's difficult to count it on the Linux: SLES9 SP3 k. 286, iSCSI, ASM, RAC cluster. Some problems caused by the low memory conditions (system runs 5 developers databases so it is oversubscribed, and servers are junk level DELL workstations, x86_64).

I know about dozen other systems, most SLES9 SP3 k. 287, scsi , ext3 or reiserfs, oracle 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.4, very stable (performance labs and development systems).

  Dear Alexei,

  After I check and read your next e-mail for this case.

  My Async I/O status is

  oracle 10.2.0.2 :

  filesystemio_options = none
  disk_asynch_io=true <- don't care because i used reiserfs

  linux :

  # cat /proc/slabinfo | grep kio
  kioctx                63     90    256   15    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata      6      6      0
  kiocb                  0      0    128   30    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata      0      0      0

  My conclusion that aio is running on Server but Oracle don't used it.

  Is that still any problems if I used SLES9 + SP3 2.6.5-7.244-bigsmp with out update on kernel?
  And is this case of that problems? My server hang, without any notification.

  best regards,
  cung

    Upgrade to the kernel 287, or uporade the whole system to SLES9 SP4 and tpo the online-update kernel 312.
     
    (Dont use SLES9 SP4 with default kernel and aio).

      Dear all,


      I need sugestion for my problem.

      My server installed using SLES 9 Patch 3, 2.6.5-7.244-bigsmp, Memory 4 GByte, Xeon Quad Core.

      Oracle Database Server 10.2.0.2.


      My Server for 3 days until now, always Hang, every 1,5 - 3 hours.

      Monitor blank, keyboard dan mouse not responding.

      No error log appear in alert log oracle or messages Linux.


      Here I copy the top and vmstat -S M 5.


      Thank you for your kindness,
