ORA-00824: cannot set sga_target due to existing internal settings, see alert log for more information

首先我试着启用ASSM，设置sga_target的大小跟sga_max_size的大小一致，如下所示，结果报错：
epps> alter system set sga_target=3424M scope=both;
alter system set sga_target=3424M scope=both
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02097: parameter cannot be modified because specified value is invalid
ORA-00824: cannot set sga_target due to existing internal settings, see alert log for more information
使用命令“oerr 错误类型 错误编号” ，查看错误信息的详细原因和Action，
[oracle@get-orasvr02 db_com_sql]$ oerr ora 00824
00824, 00000, "cannot set sga_target due to existing internal settings, see alert log for more information"
// *Cause: Unable to set sga_target due to current parameter settings.
// *Action: See alert log for more information.
通过告警日志查看详细出错信息，结果查看告警日志发现如下提示信息：
Cannot set sga_target with db_block_buffers set

在Metalink上查询了一下这方面的资料，发现SGA_TARGET > 0 不能与db_block_buffer这个过时的参数共存，否则就会出现ORA-00824错误。具体信息如下
Cause
If you enable automatic SGA Management by setting SGA_TARGET >0 and also have db_block_buffers(Obsolete parameter) in your parameter file (pfile/spfile)
Startup of Database fails with ORA-00824 Error
Solution
A) Either you need to disable the Automatic SGA Mangement by setting SGA_Target=0
==OR==
B) Replace the db_block_buffers parameter with db_cache_size parameter
STEPS TO RESOLVE
1. Make an OS copy of the spfile if you do not have a pfile for this database
2. Edit the copy of the spfile to remove the binary stuff before the first parameter
3. Remove the binary stuff after the last parameter.
4. Edit parameters needed to be changed.
5. Save the file and note name and location.
6. Start sqlplus and connect / as sysdba
7. Issue startup pfile = '<full path and file name of file just updated>'
8. Create spfile from pfile.
DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS cannot be combined with the dynamic DB_CACHE_SIZE parameter; combining these parameters in the same parameter file will produce an error.
epps> show parameter db_block_buffers
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_block_buffers integer 240000
epps> show parameter db_cache_size
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_cache_size big integer 0
epps>
解决步骤:
Step 1：备份spfile文件，避免修改数据库参数导致数据库宕机或启动不了的意外情况出现。
epps> show parameter spfile
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
spfile string /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
/db_1/dbs/spfileepps.ora
epps> !
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/
cp spfileepps.ora spfileepps.ora.bak
epps> create pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/pfile_20130903_bak.ora' from spfile;
File created.
Step 2： 修改pfile下的数据库参数，例如去掉*.db_block_buffers=240000，如果只删除db_block_buffers参数，这时启动数据库就会报ORA-32006、ORA-00385错误，如下图所示
epps> startup pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/pfile_20130903_bak.ora'
ORA-32006: PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING initialization parameter has been deprecated
ORA-00385: cannot enable Very Large Memory with new buffer cache parameters
所以还需要修改USE_INDIRECT_DATA_BUFFERS等参数。到此，问题出现的来龙去脉，解决方法都已全部给出，当然最后还是直接修改streams_pool_size来解决问题方便，如果将SGA_MAX_SIZE改回去，肯定会对数据库性能产生比较大的影响。
