Measures reported by OraGblCBLostTest

This test reports the number of blocks that were lost during transfer from one Oracle instance to another through private interconnects in this Oracle RAC.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Blk_lost_count Indicates the number of blocks that were lost during transfer from one Oracle instance to another. Number Ideally the value of this measure should be zero. A high value is indicative of network problems. The use of an unreliable IPC protocol such as UDP may result in the value for global cache blocks lost being non-zero. This ratio should be as small as possible. Many times, a non-zero value for global cache blocks lost does not indicate a problem because Oracle will retry the block transfer operation until it is successful.
