Server is hangued as oracle user as root I can do things

Hi exdperts.

Server is hangued as oracle user as root I can do things.
This server is part of an Oracle Rac (two servers that are supposed to be identical)

Amount of oracle process in slower server - hpdbdev2:
[root@hpdbdev2 /var/adm/syslog]# ps -ef|grep oracle|wc -l
690

Amount of process in server 1 - hpdbdev:
# ps -ef|grep oracle|wc -l
329

 I don't know what is happening here:

Slower server: top command

In /var/adm/syslog I have this message, but I don't know what they mean:

a storage reconfiguration on the Host, for example, replacing a disk or tape device, causes the LUN to become unavailable or appear as NO/HW in the ioscan .
Solution:
# scsimgr -f replace_wwid -C lunpath -I 0

Can this be causing the slowliness on the server when I connect as the oracle user?

When I connect as root everything seems fine.  It is not cause by some parameter like "maxuproc"?  (I don't know the equivalent in hp-ux).
I suggest that you fix this issue first.

Besides, the memory size on hpdbdev2 is 4.6GB, smaller than hpdbdev1 (7.4GB). So those two machines are not identical.

Ok, waiting for the System Admin to work this issues.
She has a lot of work so this I think is goint to wait....  and wait.... and..
If you have root access on hpdbdev2, then you can run
# scsimgr -f replace_wwid -C lunpath -I 0
  as root on hpdbdev2

Wesly because Dba's and system Admins are part of a union I'am not allowed to do her job.

I can change oracle things - no more.

Root thing to modify is Sys admin job.
Is it a development machine?
Should it be more flexible on development machine? Anyway, fix this issue to see if the issue go away.

Besides, does Oracle have configuration for db buffer (use memory) and max thread?

This is a development machine, but I don't know what that command do anyway.

Also the top command as root user in that machine showed me that root processes are top not oracle:

when you run "top", type "P" (UPPER case p) to sort by CPU usage. ("M" to sort by memory usage).
