ksvcreate: Process creation failed故障一例
今天上午接到电话,用户反映一套10.2.0.4的数据库出现用户无法登录的症状,随即在家里连上VPN远程支持,登上主机以后尝试测试操作系统认证登录和远程登录,发现已经能够正常登录了;为了了解起因,去查看了告警日志alert.log,发现在11:00左右出现大量的ksvcreate:process creation failed错误,具体错误日志如下:

SQL> select * from v$resource_limit; RESOURCE_NAME CURRENT_UTILIZATION MAX_UTILIZATION INITIAL_ALLOCATION LIMIT_VALUE ------------------------------ ------------------- --------------- -------------------- -------------------- processes 79 800 800 800 sessions 80 813 885 885 enqueue_locks 18 303 10910 10910 enqueue_resources 18 166 4112 UNLIMITED ges_procs 0 0 0 0 ges_ress 0 0 0 UNLIMITED ges_locks 0 0 0 UNLIMITED ges_cache_ress 0 0 0 UNLIMITED ges_reg_msgs 0 0 0 UNLIMITED ges_big_msgs 0 0 0 UNLIMITED ges_rsv_msgs 0 0 0 0 gcs_resources 0 0 0 0 gcs_shadows 0 0 0 0 dml_locks 0 153 3892 UNLIMITED temporary_table_locks 0 3 UNLIMITED UNLIMITED transactions 3125 3156 973 UNLIMITED branches 0 3 973 UNLIMITED cmtcallbk 0 2 973 UNLIMITED sort_segment_locks 0 8 UNLIMITED UNLIMITED max_rollback_segments 19 43 973 65535 max_shared_servers 0 0 UNLIMITED UNLIMITED parallel_max_servers 6 122 120 3600 /* 可以看到processes的MAX_UTILIZATION最大使用数目曾到过LIMIT_VALUE限定的800, sessions也有类似的情况 */从以上V$resource_limit视图的输出来看,极有可能是processes总数达到上限导致了新的后台辅助进程创建失败,其实我们可以很方便地验证这一点:
SQL> select * from v$version; BANNER ---------------------------------------------------------------- Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production SQL> alter system set processes=20 scope=spfile; System altered. /* 将processes参数修改到一个较小值 */ SQL> startup force; ORACLE instance started.

All process state objects are in use.Increase the value of the PROCESSES initialization parameter),类似以下日志:
ORA-00020: No more process state objects available ORA-20 errors will not be written to the alert log for the next minute. Please look at trace files to see all the ORA-20 errors. Process m001 submission failed with error = 20 Process m002 submission failed with error = 20 Process m003 submission failed with error = 20 Process m003 submission failed with error = 20 Process m002 submission failed with error = 20 2011-03-23 22:10:07.037000 +08:00 Process q001 submission failed with error = 20实际上ksvcreate: Process creation failed错误在能够了解其发生的root cause的情况下,并不难解决。在上例中我们可以清楚地了解到是因为数据库在实际运行中出现了processes进程总数达到参数设定上限从而导致问题出现,那么可以合理增加初始化参数processes或者通过修正异常频繁的程序客户端登录来解决该问题。
