ORA-27090 故障一例

    近期的alert日志中碰到了ORA-27090的错误信息。其错误提示为Unable to reserve kernel resources for asynchronous disk I/O。依据这个提示来看是跟异步I/O相关的内核參数问题。

以下是这个问题的描写叙述与解决。

2、故障分析
#调用oerr，没有获得比較有价值的信息，例如以下：
suse11b:oracle:orcl102 > oerr ora 27090
27090, 00000, "Unable to reserve kernel resources for asynchronous disk I/O"
// *Cause:  The system call to reserve kernel resources for asynchronous I/O
//          has failed.
// *Action: Check errno

#进一步查看trace文件。注，当前数据库版本号为10.2.0.5。OS为suse 11 sp3

3、故障解决
#依据ORA-27090: MESSAGE 27090 NOT FOUND; (文档 ID 579108.1)文档。我们改动内核參数fs.aio-max-nr
#因为此数据库为RAC环境下，因此同一时候调整了2个节点，以下为调整后的情形。
suse11a:~ # grep max-nr /etc/sysctl.conf
#fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.aio-max-nr = 3145728

suse11b:~ # grep max-nr /etc/sysctl.conf
#aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.aio-max-nr = 3145728

suse11a:~ # sysctl -p
suse11b:~ # sysctl -p

#配置完成后能够通过cluvy校验
#几日后观察alert日志，未发现该类错误。
