ORA-27125: unable to create shared memory segment Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device

 

When trying to start up an Oracle database, the below errors occur:

ORA-27125: unable to create shared memory segment
Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device
Additional information: 3773
Additional information: 3221225472

CAUSE

Kernel parameter kernel.shmall is not set properly.

RESOLUTION

Make sure kernel.shmall is given the appropriate value.

1)  Calculate the value of shmall.

getconf PAGE_SIZE

4096
Shmall=total size of the SGAs /PAGE_SIZE.
If the total SGA size is 480GB, then it would be 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 32 / 4096 = 8388608  

2) Edit /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmall = 8388608 

3) Apply the change
# sysctl -p  

4) Check shmall value after change.
# sysctl -A | grep shmall

5) Start up database successfully.

REDO LOG FILE

Redo log files are filled with redo records. A redo record also called a redo entry, is made up of a group of change vectors, each of which is a description of a change made to a single block in the database. For example, if you change a salary value in an employee table, you generate a redo record containing change vectors that describe changes to the data segment block for the table, the undo segment data block, and the transaction table of the undo segments.

Redo entries record data that you can use to reconstruct all changes made to the database, including the undo segments. Therefore, the redo log also protects rollback data. When you recover the database using redo data, the database reads the change vectors in the redo records and applies the changes to the relevant blocks.

SQL> select * from v$log;

SQL> select group#,status,sequence# from v$log;

    GROUP# STATUS            SEQUENCE#
---------- ---------------- ----------
         1 CURRENT                  91
         2 INACTIVE                 89
         3 INACTIVE                 90
SQL> select * from v$logfile;

Active (Current) and Inactive Redo Log Files

Oracle Database uses only one redo log file at a time to store redo records written from the redo log buffer. The redo log file that LGWR is actively writing to is called the current redo log file.

Redo log files that are required for instance recovery are called active redo log files. Redo log files that are no longer required for instance recovery are called inactive redo log files.

If you have enabled archiving (the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode), then the database cannot reuse or overwrite an active online log file until one of the archiver background processes (ARCn) has archived its contents. If archiving is disabled (the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode), then when the last redo log file is full, LGWR continues by overwriting the first available active file.

Add New redo log file

SQL> alter database add logfile group 4 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/redo04.dbf' 
size 100m; Database altered.

Add Member to an existing group

SQL> alter database add logfile member '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/redo04b.log' 
to group 4; Database altered.

Drop member

SQL> alter database drop logfile member '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/redo04b.log';

Database altered.

Drop Logfile Group

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 4;

Database altered.


SQL> select group#,status from v$log;

    GROUP#                STATUS
----------            ----------------
         1               CURRENT
         2               INACTIVE
         3               INACTIVE

Adding Two  member

SQL> alter database add logfile group 4 ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/redo04a.log',
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/redo04C.log') size 100m; Database altered.
SQL> select group#,member from v$logfile;

    GROUP#         MEMBER
----------       ---------------------------                       
         4    /u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/redo04a.log

         4     /u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/redo04C.log

Log Switches and Log Sequence Numbers

A log switch is a point at which the database stops writing to one redo log file and begins writing to another. Normally, a log switch occurs when the current redo log file is completely filled and writing must continue to the next redo log file. However, you can configure log switches to occur at regular intervals, regardless of whether the current redo log file is completely filled. You can also force log switches manually.

Oracle Database assigns each redo log file a new log sequence number every time a log switch occurs and LGWR begins writing to it. When the database archives redo log files, the archived log retains its log sequence number. A redo log file that is cycled back for use is given the next available log sequence number.

Each online or archived redo log file is uniquely identified by its log sequence number. During a crash, instance, or media recovery, the database properly applies to redo log files in ascending order by using the log sequence number of the necessary archived and redo log files.

ARCHIVELOG MODE

How to Enable archive log mode

Once you have configured the flash recovery area, you can put the database in ARCHIVELOG mode. Unfortunately, this requires that the database be shutdown first with the shutdown command (however, from earlier in the chapter, we note that shutdown immediate is the best option). Once you have shutdown the database, you will start the database in mount Stage with the startup mount command. Then put the database in ARCHIVELOG mode, and finally open the database. Here is an example of how this all works from the command line.

SQL> archive log list;

MULTIPLEXING USING PFILE

Multiplexing is the process of mintaining a copy of same control files on different disk drivers (and idealy on different controllers). To multiplex your control files, we copy the control file to multiple locations and change the CONTROL_FILES parameter in the text based initialization file init.ora to include all control files names.

NID Utility in Oracle

DBNEWID is a database utility, in $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory, that can change the internal database identifier (DBID) and the database name (DBNAME) for an operational database. Prior to the introduction of the DBNEWID utility, we used to manually create a copy of a database and give it a new database name (DBNAME) by re-creating the control file. However, alteration of the internal database identifier (DBID) of an instance was impossible.

The DBID is an internal, unique identifier for a database. Because Recovery Manager(RMAN)  distinguishes databases by DBID, you could not register a seed database and a manually copied database together in the same RMAN repository. The DBNEWID utility solves this problem.

NID utility allows us to change

  • Only DBID of a database
  • Only DBNAME of a database
  • Both DBNAME and DBID of a database

Changing the DBID of a database is a serious procedure. When the DBID of a database is changed all previous backups and archived logs of the database become unusable. After you change the DBID, you must open the database with the RESETLOGS option, which re-creates the online redo logs and resets their sequence to 1. Consequently, you should make a backup of the whole database immediately after changing the DBID.

LMT AND DMT TABLESPACE

LMT TABLESPACE

The LMT tablespace is implemented by adding EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL clause to 
the tablespace definition.LMT tablespaces automate extent management and remove
the ability to specify the NEXT storage parameter.

The only exception is when NEXT is used with MINEXTENTS at table creation time. LMT means Locally Management system,LMT tablespace size is uniform. By default uniform size is 1,By default lmt tablespace is Autoallocate.

Auto allocate

SQL> create tablespace india datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/india01.dbf' 
size 50m; Tablespace created.

Uniform Size

SQL> create tablespace USA datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/TESTDB/USA01.dbf' 
size 50m extent management local uniform size 512k; Tablespace created.

Deferred segment creation

SQL> create table india (reg_id number,reg_name varchar2(200));

Table created.

SQL>  select count(*) from dba_segments where segment_name='INDIA';

  COUNT(*)
----------
        0
SQL> select count(*) from dba_extents where segment_name='INDIA';

  COUNT(*)
----------
         0
SQL> insert into india values (5,'tamil');

1 row created.

SQL>  select count(*) from dba_segments where segment_name='INDIA';

----------
         1

SQL>  select count(*) from dba_extents where segment_name='INDIA';

  COUNT(*)
----------
         1
SQL>  create table italy (reg_no number,reg_name varchar2(2000))

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
deferred_segment_creation            boolean     FALSE

Extents

Continuous blocks it’s called extents,Data Stored in blocks,blocks Stored in extents.
By default Extents Size 64k.

TYPES OF EXTENTS

Initial          - Initial is First No of transaction by default 100.

Next             - Next no of transaction is 200.
  
Minextents       - minimum number of transactions by default 1.

Maxextents       - maximum number of transactions by default Unlimited.

Pct increase     - pct increase by default 100.

BLOCKS

Smallest storage unit it’s called Blocks.After database creation 
we can specify block size but before database creation we can’t change block size.
block size is 2k,4k,8k,16k,32k. By default Block size is 8k.

Check Block Size in Database

SQL> show parameter db_block_size;

NAME                     TYPE        VALUE
--------------------- ----------- --------------

Block Utilization Parameters

INITRANS       

MAXTRANS    

PCTUSED        

PCTFREE   
Initans is the initial number of transactions by default 1. 
Maxtrans is Maximum number of Transactions default 255.Inserted data Stored in
pct used by default allocate space is 89%, in case pct used is full Remaining
data goes to Next pct used. Update happens in pct free by default allocate space 10%,
pct used and pct free information stored by block header by default allocated space 1%.

Block-level problems

Row chaining

Row migration

Row chaining

Inserted data stored in pct used,that pct used is full remaining data goes to next pct 
used it is called Row chaining.Row chaining occurs when a row can't physically fit
into an Oracle block.

Another block is required to store the remainder of the row.Chaining can cause serious
performance problems and is especially prevalent with those storing multimedia data or
large binary objects (blobs).

You should pay special attention to the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter
when you create your database.Block sizes of 4 kilobytes or more are the norm,
not the exception.

Row migration

Date updates happen for  pct free ,that updated data stored in pct used.pct used is 
full that time remaining data goes to the next pct used that is called row Migration. Migration of an Oracle row occurs when a row is updated in an Oracle block and the
amount of free space in the block is not adequate to store all of the row's data.
The row is migrated to another physical block in the table.
The problem is that the indexes that refer to the migrated row are still pointing
to the block where the row used to be, and hence the table reads are doubled.
Note however that full table scans will scan blocks as they come and will perform the
same number of reads whether the rows are migrated or not.
