    I finished creating a 10GB oracle 8.1.7 database on a 64 bit IBM AIX platform. I was forced to lacate the datafiles on an EMC IP4700 box (hybrid ofg EMC Symmetrix and Clariion).
    The details of the databse is as follows:

    Total System Global Area 1183438972 bytes
    Fixed Size 116860 bytes
    Variable Size 109408256 bytes
    Database Buffers 1073741824 bytes
    Redo Buffers 172032 bytes

    db_block_buffers = 131072
    shared_pool_size = 52428800
    large_pool_size = 614400
    java_pool_size = 20971520
    log_checkpoint_interval = 10000
    log_checkpoint_timeout = 1800
    processes = 200
    log_buffer = 163840
    compatible = "8.1.0"
    # sort_area_size = 65536
    sort_area_size = 131072
    sort_area_retained_size = 65536


    redolog files werte sized at 1MB each.

    Everything went fine for one week. I was then importing a 4.5 GB table and I suddenly got the first error

    "This memory-realm does not exist".
    End of communication channel
    Oracle not available.

    I had to reboot the server and the database could only be mounted. Could not open as it says there is corruption in one fo the redologs. :
    *** SESSION ID:(4.1) 2001-03-21 17:26:59.254
    ***
    Corrupt block relative dba: 0x00000001 (file 0, block 1)
    Bad check value found during control file header read
    Data in bad block -
    type: 21 format: 2 rdba: 0x00000001
    last change scn: 0xffff.00006166 seq: 0x1 flg: 0x04
    consistency value in tail: 0x61661501
    check value in block header: 0xe949, computed block checksum: 0xe083
    spare1: 0x0, spare2: 0x0, spare3: 0x0
    ***
    ***
    What could be the problem ???
    Please help. I just created the database and did not get time to take bachkup measures.

    Thanks in advance,

    Check the alert log and any trace files for further info. Seems like a block corruption. I would advise you to call Tech Support. Increase the size of the redo log files. 1M is way too small, esp for imports.

    increase your log_buffer as well
    Check the alert log but I guess it didnt shutdown cleanly, if soyou better call support if it was cleanly shutdown try drop the corrupt redolog in mount state

    Angry Databse crash -- suggestions

    Thanks for the advise.
    But could you please suggest a better sizing for the reodlogs and logbuffers ?
    Is a redolog of size 5M okay. I will be doing lot of large file import, extraction and exports. also, I intend to cahce a feew tables. I have 8GB of memory at my disposal. So theoritically I can use 4GB of Memory for oracle.

    please advise.

    Thanks,

    Geo

    is it OLTP or dwh?
    I usually use 3MB log buffer
    whereas file size you have to monitor how often is your database switching the logs, should around 30 minutes for each log switch

    Thanks for the update.
    I was checking the alertlog.

    I saw a lot of checkpoint not complete errors.
    In the alertlog, it said, instance terminated by CKPT due to erro 1110

    it seems I may have torebuild the database.

    But I woul like to truobleshoot this and find the cause.

    Thanks in advance,
    Geo

    Read thread on metalink about this issue:

    Looks like you can temporary escape the problem by removing corrupt control file, but otherwise it seems to be hw/sw issue.
