Hi
We have a customer suffering from network issues on a server in a context of RAC cluster / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_RAC
The symptom is the following ;
A call to getaddrinfo on a server name fails after some times in production, with errno=11 "Resource temporarily unavailable"
The customer have a second cluster node in the same conditions without the issue.
When the issue occurs we can see in system logs the following sequence
Jan 24 14:22:06 raca-srv2 kernel: device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
Jan 24 14:22:06 raca-srv2 kernel: device eth2 entered promiscuous mode
Jan 24 14:22:06 raca-srv2 kernel: device eth9 entered promiscuous mode
Jan 24 14:22:06 raca-srv2 kernel: device eth8 entered promiscuous mode
Jan 24 14:22:06 raca-srv2 kernel: device eth1 entered promiscuous mode
Jan 24 14:22:06 raca-srv2 kernel: device eth1 left promiscuous mode
Jan 24 14:22:08 raca-srv2 kernel: device eth2 left promiscuous mode
