SMON: Parallel transaction recovery tried 这个一般是在具有在跑大数据量的 transaction的时候kill掉了进程而导致 smon 去清理 回滚段时导致的。

这个在业务高峰期的时候，如果发现这个，有可能导致 SMON 占用了 100% cpu 而导致 系统 hang 在那边。
即使你shutdown immediate ，oracle 也会等待 smon 清理完毕才能关机，而这个等待过程也许是漫长的。
如果你 shutdown abort，那么oracle会马上shutdown ，但是，当你startup的时候，有可能就会很慢，因为 smon 会接着清理 undo，这个等待过程也许是很漫长的：

看红色标注的那个，等待了 3 分钟才做完 recovery。
那如何才能让它快呢，metalink（238507.1 ） 有给出一些做法：
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Find SMON‘s Oracle PID:
Example:
SQL> select pid, program from v$process where program like ‘%SMON%‘;
       PID PROGRAM
---------- ------------------------------------------------
         6 oracle@stsun7 (SMON) 
2. Disable SMON transaction cleanup:
SVRMGR> oradebug setorapid <SMON‘s Oracle PID>
SVRMGR> oradebug event 10513 trace name context forever, level 2 
3. Kill the PQ slaves that are doing parallel transaction recovery. 
You can check V$FAST_START_SERVERS to find these.
4. Turn off fast_start_parallel_rollback:
alter system set fast_start_parallel_rollback=false; 
If SMON is recovering, this command might hang, if it does just control-C out of it.  You may need to try this many times to get this to complete (between SMON cycles).
5. Re-enable SMON txn recovery:
SVRMGR> oradebug setorapid <SMON‘s Oracle PID>
SVRMGR> oradebug event 10513 trace name context off 
——————————————————————————————————
以上的思路主要是要把 SMON 并行 recovery 的功能给改成非并行，主要
是 fast_start_parallel_rollback 这个参数的作用。
There are cases where parallel transaction recovery is not as fast as serial transaction recovery, because the pq slaves are interfering with each other. This depends mainly on the  type of changes that need to be made during rollback and usually may happen when rolling back INDEX Updates in parallel.
