Last updated on MAY 14, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.1.0.7 and later
Oracle Database Cloud Schema Service - Version N/A and later

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

1. This issue only happens with 11.1.0.7 ASM as this issue is fixed in 11.1.0.7.1

2. Rebalancing performance is getting slower over time and v$asm_operation.est_rate shows less than 1000 and the value gets decreasing over time.
In some cases, the rebalance is completed in a few days but most of time it fails with ORA-04031 or ORA-00600[723].

Please note that the value of EST_RATE is decreasing from 4505 tp 73 and EST_MINUTES is increasing from 530 to 3081 over time within 5 hours from v$asm_operation view.

4. The usage of following resources below from v$sgastat keeps increasing over time during rebalancing.

- shared pool ges resource
- shared pool ges enqueues
- shared pool KFD extent enqueue obj
- shared pool free memory


Please note that "KFD extent enqueue obj" resource started with 5M and ended with 120M and "ges resource" from 4M to 50M over time within 5 hours v$sgastat view.
