2. The instance alert log shows frequent LMS has not moved messages prior to the instance eviction
LMS4 (ospid: 81849) has not moved for 98 sec (1461829990.1461829892)
Incident 1624814 created, dump file:
xxx/incident/incdir_1624814/xxxx_3_lmhb_81901_i1624814.trc
ORA-29770: global enqueue process LMS4 (OSID 81849) is hung for more than 70 seconds

 

3. The MPSTAT shows SYS CPU were consumed 100%
