 Hi all,

    my database is RAC, I'm doing the incompleted recovery, after I issued the command "alter database open resetlogs", it hung, and I got below mesage from v$session;

  SID SERIAL# USERNAME        EVENT                          MODULE                         BLOCKING_SESSION SQL_HASH_VALUE

----- ------- --------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------------- --------------

  726      17 SYS             enq: DM - contention           sqlplus@machine (TNS V1-V3)               726     2561034025

 2191      11 SYS             DIAG idle wait                 sqlplus@machine (TNS V1-V3)                       2100190760

 2204       1                 gcs remote message                                                                          0

 2203       1                 gcs remote message                                                                          0

  728       1                 smon timer                                                                                  0

 1470       1                 DIAG idle wait                                                                              0

 2205       1                 pmon timer                                                                                  0

  733       1                 ges remote message                                                                          0

the strange thing here is that session 726 is blocking himself? and this session is running the command "alter database open resetlogs", here what the event "enq: DM - contention" mean here?

Howdy, Stranger!
