Resolving 19c Oracle Database Performance Woes: Unraveling the Mystery of 'Free Buffer Waits'

Image
  Introduction:   A recent upgrade from version 19.21 left a customer grappling with a perplexing performance decline, marked by a surge in "free buffer waits." Tasks that once took a manageable two hours were suddenly stretching beyond the tolerable 10-hour mark, prompting a closer examination of the underlying issues. The customer had implemented a multi-tenant architecture utilizing a single Pluggable Database (PDB).   Unveiling the Culprit:   The initial investigation pinpointed a conspicuous increase in "free buffer waits," casting a shadow on system efficiency and causing disruptions in the normal flow of operations. Recognizing the critical nature of this bottleneck, the focus shifted to conducting a thorough hanganalyze to unravel the intricacies of the problem. Chains most likely to have caused the hang:   [a] Chain 1 Signature: 'rdbms ipc message'<='free buffer waits'       Chain 1 Signature Hash: 0x8e1d98d...

Investigating a CPU Spike and Resource/cluster Hang in Oracle RAC Environment

Introduction: In a complex Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) environment, unexpected issues can arise, leading to system instability and performance degradation. In this blog post, we will delve into a specific incident involving a CPU spike and resource hang that occurred during the execution of a high parallelism SQL job. We will analyze the root causes and explore potential solutions to mitigate such problems in the future. The Incident: On a particular day between 2:00 PM and 6:30 PM IST, an SQL job with a Degree of Parallelism (DoP) set to 200 was initiated on Node#3 around 2:12 PM IST. Soon after, the CPU Idle% dropped to single digits, reaching as low as 1% at 3:10 PM IST. This performance degradation led to Node#6 being evicted following a dirty detach reconfiguration. During the incident, it was observed that the shutdown process remained hung for an extended period, and the system was only restarted at 4:44 PM as per the Syslog. The Cluster Ready Services (CRS) stack cam...
