ORA-59506

database process interrupted due to SQL*Net read timeout

Cause

A process on the client instance connected to an Oracle ASM instance was in an SQL*Net read for too long. Possible reasons include failure of the node on which the Oracle ASM instance was running or a communication channel disruption. The interrupt was detected by the Fence Monitor (FENC) process or the ASM Background (ASMB) process, and the call was interrupted.


Action

Usually none, as the client instance fails over to another available Oracle ASM instance. If the problem keeps recurring, contact Oracle Support Services.
