RE: 10g RAC and defined services performance problem

Dan Norris and I have been talking about this, and the most obvious performance issue is really with non-sharable SQL code. So far it appears that sessions are staying on the designated node, but we do have problems with services moving back and forth spontaneously. Unfortunately I don't have enough info at this point to do further diagnosis but I should have that in 1-2 days.

I think that the first thing to do in this configuration is: select * from gv_$session to be sure that what I planned is working and sessions are not moved around in the RAC.

The second thing is to get AWR report for two or three sample hours and see the waits and logical gets to find waiting and/or heavy consumers.

I would also get online during working hours and check for locks from time to time.

We have a 3-node 10.2.0.3 RAC Server on Red Hat 4, and have defined about 20 additional services with preferred nodes set to 1 specific node, with available nodes set for the other 2 nodes. Workload is divided evenly with about 7 services on each node. Has anybody run into specific problems with performance when using a lot of services, as opposed to having the application just connect to the main db load-balanced service ?  

This particular application has a reputation from the developers of not scaling well across RAC nodes, and we have recently been advised of a lot of performance problems that I am now starting to investigate, but I want to get some opinions on the wisdom of using many different services rather than just a few or one.
