Hi!
Saw some:
ORA-00379: no free buffers available in buffer pool
ORA-00379: no free buffers available in buffer pool DEFAULT for block size 8K
in one of my RAC DBs.
This happened during the nigth, when no users are connected. Some batchjobs are running but nothing serious.
Surfed around for this error but have not found that much.
Should I:
Increase the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS parameter in init<SID>.ora file and restart my instance??
Regards
Hristo

Yes, you need to increase it. However, I trust you are using the newer DB_CACHE_SIZE parameter instead of the ancient DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS.
PS: For RAC it is probably wise to keep the cache sizes the same on all nodes.

Hi!
Thanks for your reply, but as we are using sga_target should I not let Oracle handle this parameter?

Well, if you are using SGA_TARGET you cannot use DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS. If you try you will get an "ORA-00825: cannot set db_block_buffers if sga_target set".
SGA_TARGET and DB_CACHE_SIZE are however compatible. If you set both, DB_CACHE_SIZE will be seen as a minimum value for the buffer.
So, if you want, you can simply increase your SGA_TARGET.
