Symptoms
You find there are a large number of DBSNMP sessions or processes found in your RAC database.
Performance may be degraded due to:
- Higher than normal bandwidth congestion for cluster-wide operations
- Total number of processes impacts user processes and throughput
- High memory consumption for non-user processes
- High CPU for non-user processes
- A closer inspection of the excessive processes determined
- They are identified as owned by DBSNMP
- The process names appear system generated starting with pz99 ; pz98 ... and count down to pz00
- Other processes may also show as py99 , py98 ... or even pw99 ...
Changes
None required.
The problem is unique to RAC databases.
