Symptoms

Database may crash with the following error in the alert file (in 11g xml format):

This error can also be accompanied by ORA-600 [2103] which is basically the same problem - a process was unable to obtain the CF enqueue within the specified timeout (default 900 seconds).

This behavior can be correlated with server high load and high concurrency on resources, IO waits and contention, which keep the Oracle background processes from receiving the necessary resources.
