Hi, we have got a strange (at least for me) problem with cman. It is 11gR2 version on Linux. It worked properly for some time, but around 2 weeks ago there emerge some problems - in general we are unable to add new rules - all previously introduced settings work just fine, only new ones are ignored. When a colleague of mine removed his rules, reloaded and added them again - they were ignored also. But when removing mine rule, it is seen further. The configuration reload seems to be ok, so I assume the configuration syntax is ok, the file is around 45k in size. We have another similar configuration and it works fine, actually same parameters, the only difference - it is smaller and 4 times less rules. A restart didn't help (we did not clean /var/tmp/.oracle however). A trace collected with strace during reload seems to be ok - the configuration is read properly. I looked for limits for cman.ora or cman in general, but did not found some. We registered this on metalink some time ago, but no answers yet. It may be connected with some problems in internal communication between cman processes may be. Of course connections are rejected with error ORA-12529 rejected based on filtering rules, but this is something we rather expect Any clues or similar experiences?
