Oracle Dataguard: ORA-00600 [krsu_upi_atc.7] – crash when primary ships the first time

But after activating the log shipping from primary, and after archiving a redo log for the first time, the primary instance crashed with ORA-00600 [krsu_upi_atc.7].

Setting up Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.4 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) SP2 should work flawlessly, but sometimes it does not. 🙂 It turned out that this would become a pair of blog entries.

Oracle on AIX: How to find out the process memory usage
