extremely high CPU que
We sometimes experience extremely high CPU proces queue (vmstat, nmon). We use Oracle 11.2.0.1 standard on AIX system with 24 thread CPU. The average CPU queue is about 7-14, while sometimes it suddenly (within a minute) becomes > 100 and rises. The only way to stop that seems to restart Oracle. After restarting it behaves properly, till next time. We experience such a problem 1-2 times a month.
The chart below contains CPU queue. The sipeks are because of restart of Oracle, otherwise it seems to never drop.
