Amir, Does your netstat -i list any non-zero values for RX-ERR / TX-ERR for any of the nodes ? Also netstat -s for UDP should have negligible errors. Check both netstat -i & -s for BOTH instances. (Switches may vary with your *nix. Following is on Linux) $ netstat -i Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg bond1 1500 0 16359630 0 0 0 16963867 0 0 0 BMmRU $netstat -s .. Udp: 12577981 packets received 162 packets to unknown port received. 0 packet receive errors 12466995 packets sent .. Thanks, Ravi. ________________________________ From: racdba-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:racdba-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hameed, Amir Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 3:38 PM To: racdba@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: High "global cache blocks lost" statistics on one RAC node I have a two-node RAC running an 11i-ebusiness suite (11.5.9/9.2.0.6 64-bit). I am seeing the following from Statspack: Inst Statistic Total per Second per Trans ----- ---------------------------------------- ------------------ -------------- ------------ 1. global cache blocks lost 28 0.0 0.0 2. global cache blocks lost 4,410 2.7 0.9 We are using three giga-bit private interconnects going through a switch. This does not see like an interconnect issue otherwise, I think, I would have seen a higher number on the 1 node as well. Any idea what might be causing it? Thanks Amir
