filer locks on oracle DB

Hello toasters,

we have a problem with some of our oracle databases (LINUX, NFS on
Filers). Sometimes when the database crashes, we have locks left on the
filer.

Currently we use "priv set diag; lock status -f" to check for those
locks. And with "priv set diag; sm_mon -l [servername]" we can delete
all locks for a specific server.

But this is a problem, if one server hosts more DB's than one. Is there
any possibility to find out which locks are the blocking ones and delete
only those?

Does anyone have the same problem and has an interesting solution to
that?!?

Best Regards and thanks in advance

Jochen

Hi

You could first check if all RPC calls are registered symetrically on
the server and the client

rpcinfo -p localhost
rpcinfo -p filer

Clearing NFS locks are disruptive for other active sessions on the same host connected to same filer. Below KB provides more info.

Hi toasters,

i did a bit more testing in the meanwhile.

One thing i now know is, that you can check with "lock status -h [host]
-p NLM" for all NFSv2/3 connections for a specific host.

Like that:

======== NLM host lolek
   93 0x19396e07:0x001af399 0:0 0 GRANTED (0x627a7e30)
   93 0x19396e07:0x001af3a1 0:0 0 GRANTED (0xa8bb5728)
   93 0x19396e07:0x001af39b 0:0 0 GRANTED (0xe5bec7f0)
   93 0x19396e07:0x001af39a 0:0 0 GRANTED (0x6ecd44d0)
   93 0x19396e07:0x001af398 0:0 0 GRANTED (0x64df7e30)
   93 0x19396e07:0x001af397 0:0 0 GRANTED (0xaee564d0)
   93 0x19396e07:0x001af396 0:0 0 GRANTED (0x9558be30)
   84 0x17396d96:0x000911bb 0:0 0 GRANTED (0x8049d980)
   84 0x16396d56:0x00003720 0:0 0 GRANTED (0x719b1ef8)
   84 0x19396e07:0x001af395 0:0 0 GRANTED (0x916c58b8)

There you have a PID (the first collumn) which can be used to kill locks
per PID. "sm_mon -l [host] -p PID"
But sadly this PID is not the PID i can see on the client. Has anybody
an idea if there is a link between those PID's??

Regards

Jochen
