Hi,

we are using clustered database with 2 nodes on MTS

we have 2 databases, each with 2 nodes on 2 HP-UX servers

I observed that dispatcher of one particular process is taking 98-99% CPU constantly
which is ora_d000_devdbnod1

Also the following command output is showing c=255 for ora_d000 constantly
I assume it is CPU scheduling though I not much aware of the 'C' field in ps -ef

ps -ef|grep ora_d00
  oracle 27271     1  0  Jan  6  ?         0:56 ora_d001_testdbnod1
  oracle 10380     1  0  Jan 22  ?         0:06 ora_d002_devdbnod1
  oracle 10378     1  0  Jan 22  ?         0:22 ora_d001_devdbnod1
  oracle 27279     1  0  Jan  6  ?         1:06 ora_d002_testdbnod1
  oracle 10376     1 255  Jan 22  ?        60:05 ora_d000_devdbnod1
  oracle 27218     1  0  Jan  6  ?         0:18 ora_d000_testdbnod1
  oracle 22955 26042  0 10:46:14 pts/0     0:00 grep ora_d00

What could be the reason for constantly c=255 in ps command and 98-99% cpu usage in top command for this particular process?

Is it because connection requests are picked by a particular dispatcher? If yes, How I can avoid it?

following are some details for disptachers on the server

select * from v$dispatcher;
