Symptoms

In Oracle RAC 10g Release 2, we set the operating system scheduling priority of the LMS processes for a RAC database to the Real Time (RT) class. In previous versions LMS processes ran in the Time Sharing (TS) class.

The database parameters that set LMS priority look correct:

Parameter Description SessVal InsVal
-------------------------- -------------------------------- -------- --------
_high_priority_processes High Priority Process Name Mask LMS* LMS*
_os_sched_high_priority OS high priority level 1 1


However, from the ps command output you notice that LMS process is not running in RT (Real-Time) as shown below:

Example of LMS running in TS:

<USER>:/<DIR> =>ps -efc | grep lms
<oracle> 20164 1 TS 59 Apr 06 ? 196:00 ora_lms1_<SID1>
<oracle> 20224 1 TS 59 Apr 06 ? 156:10 ora_lms1_<SID2>
