    ORA-00474: SMON process terminated with error

    Hi,

    I am running a 9204 RAC on a 2 node cluster.The second node instance is crashing with "ORA-00474: SMON process terminated with error"

    I have put the event event="10046 trace name context forever,level 4" in the init of the second node and started the instance.Unfortunately the instance did not crash for a week.

    I took out this parameter and restarted the instance and it crashed again with the ORA-00474.

    I compared the init files of node 1 and node 2 and they are same.
    This is urgent and need advice.

    Thanks,
    copernicus

    What does the smon trace file say?
    A stack trace could be useful for searching metalink.

    Hi,

    The environment is

    os: solaris 8
    db : 9i R2
    hardware : node 1 and 2 are sun v1280

    It says the errors are in stack trace but the trace files has 0 bytes in it.This is a consistent error.


    Thanks,
