11gR2新特性:LMHB Lock Manager Heart Beat后台进程

LMHB是11gR2中新引入的后台进程,官方文档的介绍是Global Cache/Enqueue Service Heartbeat Monitor,Monitor the heartbeat of LMON, LMD, and LMSn processes,LMHB monitors LMON, LMD, and LMSn processes to ensure they are running normally without blocking or spinning。  Database and ASM instances, Oracle RAC

该进程负责监控LMON、LMD、LMSn等RAC关键的后台进程,保证这些background process不被阻塞或spin。 LMHB可能是Lock Manager Heartbeat的缩写。

 

我们来看一下该进程的trace跟踪文件以便了解其功能:

按照 100s -> 80s -> 100s -> 80s的间隔监控并输出一次LMSn、LCKn、LMON、LMD等进程的状态及wait chain,由kjfmGCR_HBCheckAll函数控制

大约每3分钟输出一次TOP CPU User,CPU使用率高的session信息:

 

*** 2012-02-03 00:05:30.102
kjgcr_SlaveReqBegin: message queued to slave
kjgcr_Main: KJGCR_ACTION - id 3

       5                 1             0

 

如果发现有session的CPU使用率极高,根据内部算法可能会激活 资源计划(resource management plan) ,甚至于kill 进程:

 

*** 2012-02-03 00:08:35.149
kjgcr_Main: Reset called for action high cpu, identify users, count 0

*** 2012-02-03 00:08:35.149
kjgcr_Main: Reset called for action high cpu, kill users, count 0

*** 2012-02-03 00:08:35.149
kjgcr_Main: Reset called for action high cpu, activate RM plan, count 0

*** 2012-02-03 00:08:35.149
kjgcr_Main: Reset called for action high cpu, set BG into RT, count 0

 

从11.2.0.2 开始LMHB开始使用slave 进程GCRn来完成实际的任务(Global Conflict Resolution Slave Process Performs synchronous tasks on behalf of LMHB GCRn processes are transient slaves that are started and stopped as required by LMHB to perform synchronous or resource intensive tasks.) LMHB会控制GCRn进程的启停,以便使用多个GCRn完成同步和缓解资源紧张的任务(例如kill进程)。

可以看到实际LMHB调用的多为kjgcr或kjfmGCR开头的内部函数,GCR意为Global Conflict Resolution。

 

kjgcr_Main: KJGCR_ACTION – id 5

GCR 进程的trace :

LMHB进程的出现是为了提高RAC的可用性,特别是在资源紧张的环境中他会主动地去尝试kill掉最耗费资源的服务进程,以保证LMS等关键的RAC后台进程能正常工作; 因为该进程定期监控LMS、LMON等后台进程的等待事件及session的CPU使用率等信息,所以该LMHB进程的跟踪日志也可能成为诊断RAC故障的之一,这是11.2.0.1以来RAC一个潜在的新特性和增强。

_lm_hb_disable_check_list list of process names to be disabled in heartbeat check — none

 

11.2是第一个引入LMHB进程的版本,所以并不是太成熟,在实际过程中对于资源使用率很高的RAC系统而言LMHB可能会帮一些倒忙,若你确实遇到了相关的问题或者是在11.2 RAC上碰到了一些诡异的现象,那么可以关注一下以下这些MOS Note:
