Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: standby db - ora16166 LGWR timed out on Network Server 1 due to buffer full condition
Not sure that this has anything to do with your problem but we were
getting the same error message on our primary site when we put a logical
standby into production in November=2E
We had an Oracle consultant on-site helping us with our implementation and he determined that the error was occurring because we did not have a dedicated network connection between the primary and standby servers=2E The shared network resource did not have available bandwith for the primary to ship the archive log data in the buffer to the standby server=2E In our case this hung up our production database :(=2E
We never did do anymore investigation to prove the guy right or wrong because the next day they pulled the plug on the Data Guard project=2E

Re: standby db - ora16166 LGWR timed out on Network Server 1 due to buffer
full condition
yes, the standby is pingable and the RFS process and listener are running at the standby=2E
OS - solaris 8
the only entry in sqlnet=2Eora on both the primary &
standby is
NAMES=2EDIRECTORY_PATH=3D (TNSNAMES,HOSTNAME)
v$database on primary shows primary,archivelog,read
write, maximum performance
v$database on standby shows physical standby, archivelog, mounted, maximum performance
When I switched log file, the logfile got applied at the standby site almost instantaneously=2E I created a couple of objects on the primary and did verify that they got created on the standby=2E
I've been getting this error when there were no activities on the database and yet when I tested loading a table yesterday, no error message=2E
Appreciate any insights=2E
thanks=2E
