RE: 11gR2 RAC Network Failure - Timeout

I think that sets only the interconnect timeout, not the vip timeout. On linux the vip connectivity is checked by using ethtool (or mii-tool on older linux versions) to verify the status of the network port. If ethtool reports that the link is down a ping is done to the public gateway. If the ping test fails two times, the failover is initiated. Looking at the script, I think the timeout of the ping is set to 1 second (-w 1 -c 1).

The script responsible for the vip test is $ORACLE_HOME/bin/racgvip (where $ORACLE_HOME is the GI home, not the db home). On linux this is just a shell script, so you can modify it to change the number of retries. But I can't directly find where the sleep time between two vip checks is defined.

Hi,
To view the timeout:

crsctl get css misscount

To set it:

crsctl set css misscount 45

"crsctl get css" will give you other possible settings that are viewable/settable.

Note that Oracle advise to not set misscount to a value lower than 30 seconds.

Hope that helps,

Phil
