Oracle 11g Known bugs

Oracle 11g bug.
BUGs:
  • Hugepages not being used. First check if /etc/security/limits.conf is set correctly for 'memlock'. You can also check 'ulimit -l'. However there is a bug with 11.2.0.1 where if database is started by srvctl and not sqlplus then hugepages are not used. The workaround is to edit either $GRID_HOME/bin/ohasd or /etc/init.d/ohasd and put 'ulimit -l unlimited' explicitly. This bug is supposedly fixed in 11.2.0.2.
  • If loopback database link is used, the SQL would hang forever waiting on 'DFS Lock Wait'. Till date the issue persists and there doesn't seem to be fix from Oracle. Unofficially though I know one of the underscore parameter fixes the issue but would essentially disable majority of cluster features.
