Golden Rule in Debugging Oracle Clusterware

  • The best recommendation is to synchronize nodes using Network Time Protocol (NTP).
  • Modify the NTP initialization file to set the -x flag, which prevents time from being adjusted backward.

# vi /etc/sysconfig/ntp

OPTIONS="-x -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"


If NTP is not used, Clusterware will automatically configure Cluster Time Synchronization Service (CTSS).

Note: Adjusting clocks by more than five minutes can cause instance evictions. It is strongly advised to shut down all instances before date/time adjustments.
