标题：数据库启动报 maximum number of processes () exceeded分析

比较少遇到打开一个数据库报ORA-00020: maximum number of processes () exceeded,导致open数据库失败

SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
*
第 1 行出现错误:
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
ORA-00450: background process 'QMNC' did not start
ORA-00444: background process "QMNC" failed while starting
ORA-00020: maximum number of processes () exceeded
进程 ID: 6340
会话 ID: 109 序列号: 3

看这个报错应该是由于进程数达到了限制，导致在open数据库过程中启动后台进程QMNC失败,导致open过程失败,分析进程数不足的原因,查看启动时候的参数配置

看alert日志比较明显有Process P123 submission failed with error = 20提示,这里表示启动P123进程时候也遭遇到了进程数不足的限制导致该进程无法启动,而Pxxx进程是oracle的并行进程(而且在后面还报了由于坏块导致P036进程报错的信息),也就是说这个数据库在启动过程中启动了大量的并行进程(至少122个已经启动),这也就是说明了为什么150个进程不足的原因.在数据库完成实例恢复,完全open之前启动并行进程进行恢复的,很可能就是并行回滚操作.为了进一步验证猜想,把processes调整到1500,然后尝试启动库

这次就比较清晰了,数据库在open过程中由于smon启动了并行回滚并遇到了坏块,导致P091进程和smon进程错误。因为数据库已经open,这个坏块导致无法回滚,直接对这个对象进行处理即可解决掉这个回滚报错问题.
