There were 80+ parallel processes running on a system with 8 cpus. By running 
fewer processes at a time the server will be able to complete them faster than 
if you run all 80 at the same time.
So we changed the parallel_max_servers parameter from 160 to 6 after that 
database is working better and the load cpu load looks much better.

Thanks,

what's the server loading during the issue, CPU usage and run queue length,  
you can use sar to review. and is any top process found by ps/top, heavy 
paging/swap during the issue?

next time see if you can login with prelim and do a system dump to help analysis
sqlplus -prelim /nolog
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Prelim connection established
SQL> oradebug setmypid
Statement processed.
SQL> oradebug dump systemstate 1;
Statement processed.

you can use the os tool truss to trace sqlplus process, to see what's waiting 
on, see note 760968.1
truss -o connect.out -f sqlplus / as sysdba
