Hi Mladen,
I've seen such errors, but on normal filesystems/ASM. They were at that time
accompanied by IO errors on the underlying disk device due to failing disks. I
expect you have already ruled out hardware failure, so I would at this point
investigate the ZFS volume. Has anyone changed parameters on the underlying
volume, resulting in the file becoming read-only, such as setting the readonly
flag on the volume?
Also I suspect that merging a snapshot would change the file addressing space,
and confuse the database if done with the file open. Not sure whether this is
actually the case, or ZFS will handle this gracefully.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi!
I am having a strange problem with an Oracle 12.1.0.2 instance on SUN Solaris
11.3 (SPARC):

When I restart the instance all files are available. The instance is patched
with the January 2017 PSU, soon to be patched with April 2017 PSU. Here are the
relevant versions:
SunOS sun02 5.11 11.3 sun4v sparc sun4v -bash-4.4$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.2.0 Production on Sun Apr 30 16:15:43 2017 Copyright
(c) 1982, 2014, Oracle. All rights reserved. Connected to: Oracle Database 12c
Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning,
OLAP, Advanced Analytics and Real Application Testing options
The underlying file system is, of course, ZFS. When the instance is restarted,
all the files are available and there is nothing in the V$RECOVER_FILE. I
opened SR with Oracle, but as this is a development system, they are taking
their time. Has anyone seen this before and, if yes, what would be the
solution? The system crashes during nightly batches, which load a lot of data
and are write intensive.
