Exadata X7-8 Hardware - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
SYMPTOMS
On X7-2 and X7-8 Exadata database servers running 18.1.0 through 18.1.6, a third-party tool used by CheckHWnFWProfile leaks one semaphore array per invocation, which is typically once per day. In an OVM configuration this occurs in dom0 only. The maximum number of semaphores arrays (semmni) is typically set to 256. Once the number of allocated semaphores arrays reaches 256, then a variety of failures may occur, such as the following:In a non-virtualized configuration new database instances fail to start with an error indicating insufficient semaphores, such as the following:
SQL> startup nomount
ORA-27154: post/wait create failed
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpcreates
Already running database instances are unaffected.
In a virtualized (OVM) configuration OneCommand (OEDA) step "Create Virtual Machine" fails with the following error:
Error: Command [/opt/exadata_ovm/exadata.img.domu_maker start-domain /EXAVMIMAGES/conf/final-vm.xml] run on node n1v1.oracle.com as user root did not execute successfully...
Error running oracle.onecommand.deploy.machines.VmUtils method createVms
/var/log/exadata.img.domu_maker.trc contains the following error:

----- START STDERR -----
Limit for the maximum number of semaphores reached. You can check and set the limits in /proc/sys/kernel/sem. create/reload failed on loop6p1
Limit for the maximum number of semaphores reached. You can check and set the limits in /proc/sys/kernel/sem. create/reload failed on loop6p2
Limit for the maximum number of semaphores reached. You can check and set the limits in /proc/sys/kernel/sem. create/reload failed on loop6p3
Already running domUs are unaffected.
CheckHWnFWProfile does not properly identify the firmware version of 25G Ethernet devices.
Customer-installed software that relies on the ability to allocate a semaphore array to run will fail.
Additional symptoms include the following:
/var/log/messages contains the following errors:
BROADCOM[32717]: ERROR SemCreate() semget() failed! No space left on device
BROADCOM[32717]: ERROR ngBmapiInitialize() LockCreate() failed!
BROADCOM[32717]: ERROR /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids file should be updated
BROADCOM[32717]: ERROR GetSriovInfo() fopen() /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:5e:00.0/virtfn0/uevent failed! 2
A large number of semaphore arrays exist containing 3 semaphores per array, but are not associated with any running process. This can be determined by running the following bash code as the root user. This bash code identifies semaphore arrays that have been allocated but the process they are associated with no longer exists.
# for semid in $(ipcs -s | egrep ' 3[ ]*$' | awk '{print $2}'); do
for pid in $(ipcs -s -p -i $semid | awk '/^[0-9]/{print $NF}'|sort -u); do
if ! ps -p $pid >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "safe to remove semid $semid - no pid $pid"
fi
