今天巡检某行生产库,一套RAC的2节点ALERT日志中报错

检查两节点时间,相差5秒。
查询MOS,发现11.2.0.2上会有相应BUG,该库为11.2.0.3版本,排除BUG的问题。
ORACLE对于VKTM的解释为
VKTM (virtual keeper of time) is responsible for providing a wall-clock time
(updated every second) and reference-time counter (updated every 20 ms and
available only when running at elevated priority).
由此判断节点与NTP同步上有问题,添加crontab,每半天运行同步一次。
在此说个题外话,NTP在RAC层面很重要,如果NTP服务器出现间断性不正常,会导致RAC节点间歇性MINI DUMP。
特此记录
