Bug 21915719 Database hang or may fail to OPEN in 12c IBM AIX or HPUX Itanium – ORA-742, DEADLOCK or ORA-600 [kcrfrgv_nextlwn_scn] ORA-600 [krr_process_read_error_2]

Applies to:
Oracle Database – Enterprise Edition – Version 12.1.0.1 to 12.1.0.2 [Release 12.1]
Oracle Database Cloud Schema Service – Version N/A and later
Gen 1 Exadata Cloud at Customer (Oracle Exadata Database Cloud Machine) – Version N/A and later
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure – Database Service – Version N/A and later
Oracle Database Cloud Exadata Service – Version N/A and later
IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)

Description
Oracle 12c introduces a new default feature of using multiple LGWRs which may lead to DEADLOCK / Database Hang or ORA-742 “Log read detects lost write” or ORA-600 [kcrfrgv_nextlwn_scn] during instance OPEN or ORA-600 [krr_process_read_error_2] during Recovery on IBM AIX and potentially on HPUX Itanium 64bit.
The database may become unusable and fail to be OPEN.

Occurrence
This issue is specific to RDBMS version 12c (12.1.0.1 or 12.1.0.2) where the new default feature of using multiple LGWRs is introduced.
It affects databases on IBM AIX and potentially on HPUX Itanium 64bit

Symptoms
ORACLE on IBM AIX or HPUX Itanium 64bit with RDBMS Version 12c.

DEADLOCK or ORA-742 “Log read detects lost write” or ORA-600 [kcrfrgv_nextlwn_scn] during instance OPEN or ORA-600 [krr_process_read_error_2] during Recovery caused by bug 21915719.

PMON may terminate the instance while extensive block recovery is being performed.

A DEADLOCK example is with LG0[n] waiting on ‘LGWR worker group ordering’. Example from a System State Dump trace file:

The instance may fail to OPEN with errors ORA-600 [kcrfrgv_nextlwn_scn] and/or ORA-600 [krr_process_read_error_2]:

Recovery Session Failed with:

ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [krr_process_read_error_2],


Alter database open fails with:

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kcrfrgv_nextlwn_scn] .....
ORA-600 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE OPEN...

Workaround
Disable the new feature of multiple LGWR worker processes by proactively setting _use_single_log_writer=true.

Setting _use_single_log_writer = true is a safe workaround; it is the behavior before 12c where multiple LGWR worker groups were not available. 

ALTER SYSTEM SET "_use_single_log_writer"=TRUE SID='*' SCOPE=SPFILE;
-- Restart the database or all instances of the RAC database

Note that while _use_single_log_writer=true is not set, then error ORA-600 [kcrfrgv_nextlwn_scn] might be produced avoiding the database to OPEN. Once the problem is introduced, _use_single_log_writer=true may not fix it. _use_single_log_writer = true prevents inconsistencies in the redo log to be introduced which causes that error.
If the parameter does not help, because the problem was already introduced when _use_single_log_writer=true had not been proactively set, then Point in Time Recovery (PITR) or Flashback Database are the options to recover from this situation.

_use_single_log_writer和_max_outstanding_log_writes

发表于 2016 年 6 月 7 日 由 惜分飞

SCALABLE LGWR是12cR1中引入的一个令人激动的特性， 这是由于在OLTP环境中LGWR写日志往往成为系统的主要性能瓶颈， 如果LGWR进程能像DBWR(DBW0~DBWn)那样多进程（LGNN）写出redo到LOGFILE那么就可能大幅释放OLTP的并发能力，增长Transcation系统的单位时间事务处理能力。这里在12.2版本中进行测试，确定_use_single_log_writer和_max_outstanding_log_writes参数对于SCALABLE LGWR特性的影响
数据库版本

_use_single_log_writer和_max_outstanding_log_writes默认值

lg进程数量
这里可以看出来，有一个lgwr进程，两个lg进程和_max_outstanding_log_writes参数配置匹配

[oracle@ora1221 ~]$ ps -ef|grep ora_lg
oracle    49790      1  0 10:32 ?        00:00:00 ora_lgwr_orcl12c2
oracle    49794      1  0 10:32 ?        00:00:00 ora_lg00_orcl12c2
oracle    49798      1  0 10:32 ?        00:00:00 ora_lg01_orcl12c2

修改_max_outstanding_log_writes参数
通过修改_max_outstanding_log_writes参数为4，发现lg进程数量也变为了4，证明_max_outstanding_log_writes进程决定lg进程数量

alter system set "_max_outstanding_log_writes"=4

修改_use_single_log_writer参数
通过测试_use_single_log_writer参数修改，我们可以确定_use_single_log_writer修改为true后，数据库恢复到12c之前的lgwr管理方式

从这里可以确定_use_single_log_writer确定是否启用SCALABLE LGWR(多个lg子进程),_max_outstanding_log_writes确定lg进程个数
