在一套19.14的linux 2节点rac库中,使用sqlplus启动数据库成功,但是alert日志中报ORA-00800: soft external error, arguments: [Set Priority Failed]错误.

错误提示比较明显,提升进程的优先级失败,通过操作系统命令观察发现确实进程优先级没有提升

[root@oradb01 ~]# ps -eo pid,class,pri,nice,time,args|grep vktm|grep -v grep 
 5656 TS   19   0 00:00:00 ora_vktm_orcl1
30838 RR   41   - 13:08:36 ora_vktm_+ASM1

重新使用srvctl启动数据库,优先级提升正常,alert日志中也无类似警告

[root@oradb01 ~]# ps -eo pid,class,pri,nice,time,args|grep vktm|grep -v grep 
 5716 RR   41   0 00:00:00 ora_vktm_orcl1
30838 RR   41   - 13:18:46 ora_vktm_+ASM1

这个问题一直困惑了很久,今天无意中在mos上发现了相关mos文档,具体参考:(DB50) Clusterware Fails to Start Because CSSD Cannot Get Real-Time Priority (Doc ID 2903663.1),由于 bug 34286265 and bug 34318125(Bug 34649727 Linux: ORA-800 / Set Priority / DB Performance Merge Patch for 19.17 – 34286265 34318125)
