Shutdown immediate won't work, Must abort to switch to SunCluster standby

Customer has a Solaris Clusterware, The customer sees the semtimedop() system call returning EAGAIN when running "shutdown immediate" on their database on one cluster node. This is expected when the shared resource that the semaphore is protecting is unavailable. The shared resource is only being used by Oracle processes, so we need to know what the resource is and what the other processes are doing with it. MOS doc 760968.1 isn't helpful. A Solaris crash dump taken when the database shutdown problem was occurring showed no signs of an OS issue so database assistance is needed.
We have tried to capture the following trace, but the trace is empty , and we 're stuck since then.
SQL> alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever,level 12';
SQL> alter session set events '10400 trace name context forever, level 1';
SQL> shutdown immediate;

don't you think it is about time you upgraded to something that hasn't been out of support since 2007 (almost 6 years ago...???). Hopefully you don't have any CC information stored in that db as there has not been any security updates since before it went to de-support.
What I would like to know is how did you even get 9i to install on Solaris 10? IIRC, that is not even a supported OS/Oracle version configuration. As for your current problem,

Shutdown immediate hanging

I need to develop a scripts that shuts down all databases on a server. One of my databases sometimes hangs after issuing "shutdown immediate" command, and I want to handle this situation in my script. What I am thinking is to add "shutdown abort" in the script if "shutdown immediate" does not work. However, I do not know how to determine the database is hanging during shutdown immediate. Can you advise me on how to handle the shutdown immediate hanging problem in my shell script? Or is there better way to handle this in the script?
Thank you very much for your help!

As noted, if your shutdown immediate really hang because of rollback, then my method won't work either. The only different will be Oracle is going to do the rollback at next startup when doing instance recovery. In that case, the startup will appear to be hang.

If shutdown immediate hangs database waits one hour for shutdown abort

we have schedules cold backup for our 11g database on redhat 5.3.
there is a shell script written with shutdown immediate command.
If database hangs during shutdown immediate database waits one hour for auto shutdown abort.
but this happens once or twice in a month
can we do this auto shutdown abort earlier than one hour ??

Since you're shutting down the database for cold backup so ensure it should be shutdown properly by shutdown or shutdown immediate cmd not by abort cmd.
Consistent backup:-
A backup taken when the database is mounted (but not open) after a normal shutdown. The checkpoint SCNs in the datafile headers match the header information in the control file. None of the datafiles has changes beyond its checkpoint. Consistent backups can be restored without recovery.

Installing 10.9.2, "shutdown because of a problem", now Mail won't open and App Store won't work.

While installing OS X 10.9.2, my MacBook Pro suddenly "shut down because of a problem" (which isn't the first time that happened). Checking the Apple menu and "About this Mac" it says I have 10.9.2 installed. I tried to see if I could reinstall the update, figuring something went wrong when the computer shut down, but the App Store won't work, clicking on "Updates" or any other tab doesn't change the screen from the App Store icon in the center. Mail also won't open, which is what I ; I tried to see if I could reinstall the app, but I don't have the CD that the support page said I needed. It seems to be only Mail and FaceTime that won't open so far. How do I fix this?

I took it in to my university's apple care and they wiped and reinstalled the OS.
Next time I will just go in and ask, since it doesn't look like anyone else is getting any real help with this problem!

I am having similar problem. My server has been up for around 100 days now. And I extensively use XML DB in my code. So, now the DOM memory failed for me, so, I am doing shutdown immediate in the hope that it might fix it ( or atleast start where it is hanging).

Shutdown immediate fails

Hi Gurus,
since Saturday I got a problem with my Oracle 10g. I cannot shutdown it anymore with shutdown immediate (runs without finishing), and when I shut it down with shutdown abort and restart it, it runs recovery, and afterwards it runs very slowly. Especially connections from outside do not work at all (via thin client), they are so slow that I get timeouts.
Please help, I don't have any idea any more!
Bye,
Daniel

As you've done a SHUTDOWN ABORT and STARTUP, you would be able to monitor the rollback that it is attempting by querying V$FAST_START_TRANSACTIONS after the startup.
UNDOBLOCKSTOTAL is the number of Undo Blocks that have to be applied in the rollback.
UNDOBLOCKSDONE is the number of Blocks done so far.
Thus UNDOBLOCKSDONE*100/UNDOBLOCKSTOTAL is the percentage done.
There are times when the Instance Recovery is slowed down by FAST_START_PARALLEL_ROLLBACK.
You could set the instance parameter FAST_START_PARALLEL_ROLLBACK to FALSE and restart the instance and watch the speed of the rollback in v$FAST_START_TRANSACTIONS. (obviously, you'd need to SHUTDOWN ABORT and STARTUP, else the SHUTDOWN would wait for the "slow" rollback to complete).

My safari won't work unless I click a link?

Recently I used AdwareMedic to clean off adware that had made its way on my computer. Once it was cleaned, I restarted my computer to be safe. Since the restart, every time I open my Safari a page comes up that states, "Safari Can't Open the Page." It goes on to state that the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, and to wait a few minutes then try again. However, time isn't helping my problem. I've restarted it again, I've updated my software, and I can't find any other discussions about this. (Forgive me if I've just missed it.) Then, I tried to click a link that was texted to me through the Messages app, and Safari worked (mostly). Some websites still wouldn't work, but I could get on most everything else. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I'd like to use Safari without clicking a link that was sent to me through a text. Thank you very much.
(-Safari 8.0.2; -4 GB memory; 261.98 GB free of 319.21 GB; -2.66 GHz)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Close, Minimize, Maximize buttons won't work

So lately the close, minimize and maximize buttons in Safari, Chrome and Firefox won't work. Also, I can't move/drag the window easily, I have to click like 10 times and try over and over again so I can drag it. If I have two windows open (not tabs) I cant close unless i go cmd+W. Do you know what must be wrong? Those buttons work fine in some apps, but finder has that problem too.. I try to force close them and they won't eve appear on task manager, which is weird, they used to. Oh and my launchpad button (in the dock and in the keyboard) also doesn't work.

I found out that it wasn't just Safari, I had the same problem with FireFox. On the forum I found the (I think) solution:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12073845#12073845
It looks like the problem is solved

HT4527 TRIED, TRIED, and TRIED! It won't work!

Now I have tried and
tried and tried to transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to
my new one for over half a year. The methods described here won't
work. Neither does the (few) ones I found on other sites.
I would probably
have taken shorter time to download the music one more time directly
from the 300+ CDs (full format – I do not want compressed) I have
(half with classic music not available at iTunes store, Spotify or
elsewhere), than trying...
Some part of some
instructions here (and otherwise) does not seem to be up to date, or
details is wrong regarding Windows 8.1. Other just don't work. I
have also tried many other ways that my brain can come up with. But
always only one of the CD is found by iTunes.
Maybe Apple want one
to have all in the cloud, but a few 100s of Giggs would probably cost
me a zillion €$£s a month – so it's not an option. Or that
things like this only can work if one has a Mac (although I have
consider buying a Mac, since Windows 8 is horrible, but I have
programs that only exists in versions that runs under Windows).
Unfortunately this
also means that I can not sync my iPod and iPad with the new computer
(since everything on the units will be deleted when synced to a new
computer). And this also prevents me to update to new iOS 8. (I
have all data except music and larger sized pictures in clouds –
although this is sometimes a problem summertime at my summerhouse in
a low populated area with very bad internet possibilities.)
So if someone
actually knows how to do this (from hard drive with files from iTune
version half year ago on XP, to latest iTunes on Windows 8.1 –
PLEACE let me know!
Apple should really
think about this. There should just be a simple import function.
Copyright issues might exist, but it will be no difference than the
methods described here (if they work). [And in Sweden we actually
pay a special tax to copyright holders on storing devices (computers,
hard drives, mobile phones, etc) to compensate for this.]
[Also: there are
issues with this page. When typing, it is not possible to go back in
the text and edit. Also I had to type this one more time when the
web page just “died”. All of IE (standard – not metro) just
locks itself and have to be aborted with ctrl+alt+del]

Hi there beryl,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re seeing an “error 7” alert message when launching iTunes. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides more information about that alert and troubleshooting steps that’ll generally resolve the issue.

Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu OS

I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition and upgraded my BT broadband to Infinity on 28.12.11, using the same HomeHub3 that worked perfectly well with the old Total service.
It doesn't work, wirelessly. I can get an apparently strong connection, but its agonisingly slow. At the same time, an ethernet connection works well, When I switch from one to the other and test the speed, I can watch the bandwidth fall away (i.e.: it isn't immediately disconnected.)
Nobody at BT can or will help, telling me that Ubuntu is 'unsupported' (i.e.: it's my problem). I reported this problem to BT - ref: xxxxxx-xxxxxx - via its complaints form on 28.12.11, but have had no response.
I've spent much time this past week on internet help forums. It transpies that BT has known about this issue with Ununtu for six months, but has apparently done nothing about it and cannot suggest a solution.
Suggested workarounds from other Ubuntu users involve manually reconfiguring one's connection, but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings from N to G tech., but that only worked temporarily for me and, besides, my netbook is only a couple of year old.
When I was sold Infinity, nobody mentioned that it doesn't work with Ubuntu. Frankly, I feel it was mis-sold as I intended to increase the bandwidth of my Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price. Not from where I sit, it isn't.
The only solution I can see is to get BT to switch me back to their Total service, which suited me fine. I'm going to get their engineer to come back and uninstall Infinity. I will also complain to Offcom, as this situation could easily have been avoided had the BT sales person told me that Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu.

Firstly your negotiating skills with BT are far better than mine....
"....Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price"
I was on BT Total BB and had to pay an extra £2 pm for Infinity and then an extra £4.75pm uplift of the calls package to give me the same anytime calls I had previously.... And had to re-start another 18month contract!!! Ohhh well.
Right onto the problem... Webby's suggestion of making sure your on a clear or least used wireless channel is good advice.
Here is the link to the free software http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
Have a look at a demo,- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2kZCfYTxI
To be honest I would move your HH3 from the Automatic setting to a fixed wireless channel as they seem to work better like that.
If your Operating System won't work with Inssider I would then just try a different channel starting at 1 and work up... seeing how things go.
Regarding setting your HH3 to wireless g, that is a very backward step as the most you'll get over that would be around 20Mbps depending on your distance from hub etc.
Couple of pics comparing my speed test over wireless g and n in THIS POST.
Another thing I would try is a wireless n USB adapter... just in case your m/c is only g
Links of how to identify what yours is and pictures of the difference in the "Network Sharing Centre".. 54Mbps being g and anything above is wireless n....
Wireless n gives the best speed assuming your Infinity download IP is more than 20Mbps. Also wireless n signal is more robust penetrating walls etc.
There are links to the type of wireless n adapters I use... Picture of one HERE, (Don't need the extender cable shown in that picture).
wwwebber's post was very useful.-
"I use Ubuntu on my laptop with BT Infinity & HH3 with no problems at all. BT is not at fault here - they do not support Ubuntu."
Confirming Infinity and Unbunto do work...
You say ".....but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings .... but that only worked temporarily for me......"
As changing settings worked temporarily you must have been able to log into your HH3.
If you really can't log in can you borrow a friends netbook running windows to get logged in perhaps?
Log in,- http://bthomehub.home/html/home/home.html go to Advanced settings, wireless. and change Channel settings from Automatic to a channel number then click on Apply.
I would place your laptop near to the HH3 and move the HH3 wireless channel to a clear channel or start at channel 1.
Try to get a good wireless n speed..... example of mine 37Mbps over http://www.speedtest.net/
Then when you have a reasonable speed move your laptop away... you will notice a drop over distance that's normal.
I am 20' away from my HH3 and get 37Mbps through a plasterboard wall.
Regarding other routers people have used http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/List-of-Routers-to-replace-Home-Hub-3/td-p/298203
And see Ady's msg #21 and #25 in THIS THREAD.
"'ll try the netbook in different locations over the w/e and hope from a solution from Ubuntu before remonstrating further with BT".
Please let us know how you get on.

WRT54G v4 won't work in PPPoE mode...

WRT54G v4 won't work in PPPoE mode...
For the past few years, I've had my WRT54G v4 set up to run in PPPoE mode. My Siemens Speedstream 5200 is set to run in Bridge Mode. It's worked fine for a long time. If I ever ran into a problem, I could always simply reset both, re-do all the settings, and it'd be fine.
Today I come home from work, it's not working at all. I reset the settings, redo everything, still not working. I do this a few times. It repeatedly just won't connect to anything. The DSL modem activity lights are flashing, everything is normal, the Status page in my Linksys setup all reads fine (it's connecting through the modem like it should, acquiring an IP address, etc). So, I decide I'm gonna reset the modem and try bypassing the Linksys.
That turns out to work just fine.
So I reset the Linksys, hook my PC back up to the Linksys, and everything is fine. But here's the rub...
If I try to bridge the modem and put the Linksys in PPPoE mode, it simply stops working. If I put it back into DHCP mode and reset the DSL modem, it still won't work. Once it enters PPPoE mode, the Linksys simply stops working as it should. Nothing besides a reset will make it start working.
Any suggestions/explanations as to what would cause this? I'm completely baffled, personally. I'm running the DSL modem in it's normal state and the Linksys in DHCP but I really prefer it the other way. I just can't figure out why it isn't working.
So, to sum up:
1. Connection is fine when going straight through the DSL modem.
2. Connection is fine when routed through the Linksys into the DSL modem with the Linksys in DHCP mode.
3. Once DSL modem is set to Bridge Mode and Linksys to PPPoE, I lose internet connectivity. No DNS, nothing.
4. Even if I change the settings back to DHCP, it still will not work. I must manually reset the router's settings using the reset button, doing the same with the DSL modem.
Any suggestions? I've tried everything I can possibly think of.

You need to Upgrade the Router's firmware in order to get the connection work again with PPPoE...
Download 2.95 MB...Once the Firmware has been downloaded you need to unzip the firmware file, it will unzip 3 files, you need the .bin file...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Shutdown immediate won't work, Must abort to switch to SunCluster standby
