You can encounter this problem on HP-UX platforms.

Many trace files are being created with the error “Ioctl ASYNC_CONFIG error, errno = 1”.

Disabling ASYNCH_IO in Oracle 9.2 databases:

$ chown bin:bin /dev/async
$ chmod 660 /dev/async

1 2	$ chown bin:bin /dev/async $ chmod 660 /dev/async

This change will also affect other applications that use asynchronous I / O.

Get MLOCK privilege for the dba group.

$ /usr/sbin/setprivgrp dba  MLOCK
$ vi /etc/privgroup

1 2	$ /usr/sbin/setprivgrp dba MLOCK $ vi /etc/privgroup

Add the following line.

dba MLOCK RTSCHED RTPRIO

1	dba MLOCK RTSCHED RTPRIO

$ cat /etc/privgroup
dba MLOCK RTSCHED RTPRIO

1 2	$ cat /etc/privgroup dba MLOCK RTSCHED RTPRIO

Following Oracle 10.2, the following parameters will also prevent the error.

disk_asynch_io=FALSE
filesystemio_options=none

1 2	disk_asynch_io=FALSE filesystemio_options=none

This error will not happen again when you turn the database off and on.
