Gurus We have block corruption in Oracle RAC ASM environment. We are evaluating to setup oracle parameters to debug/prevent block corruption when it happens next time. Did any one used _db_writer_verify_writes parameter? I was in impression that it helps to direct the DBWR to re-read every block after it writes it out to make sure the write operation did happen as planned. I didn't find much information in Metalink. We are also evaluating setting up DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM parameter. I would really appreciate if you had any lesions learned with these parameters (like performance degradation, etc) Thanks, Rama Ari | Accenture Technology Consulting * Mobile: +1 (610) 203-0661 This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
