最近客户邮件描述无法从客户端连接到数据库，其错误号为ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed，连接被关闭。直接通过tnsping没有任何问题。listener日志中出现TNS-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection。即Listener无法分发客户端连接。下面是具体的错误信息、分析与解决的过程。
1、前端错误信息
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>sqlplus robinson@sywgmr SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Mar 27 10:49:00 2014 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved. Enter password: ERROR: ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed
2、故障分析

oracle@SZDB:~> oerr ora 12537
12537, 00000, "TNS:connection closed"
// *Cause: "End of file" condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.
// *Action: None needed; this is an information message.
oracle@SZDB:~> oerr ora 12518
12518, 00000, "TNS:listener could not hand off client connection"
// *Cause: The process of handing off a client connection to another process
// failed.
// *Action: Turn on listener tracing and re-execute the operation. Verify
// that the listener and database instance are properly configured for
// direct handoff. If problem persists, call Oracle Support.
// *Comment: The problem can be worked around by configuring dispatcher(s)
// to specifically handle the desired presentation(s), and connecting
// directly to the dispatcher, bypassing the listener.
#根据上面的2个error no，没有获得太多的有用信息
#ora-12518建议作一个trace.其comment说明可以通过配置disaptcher来解决，而当前我们的数据库使用的是dedicate方式
#关于如何配置监听器trace，可参考: http://blog.csdn.net/leshami/article/details/8254720
#此处不做trace，笔者尝试reload以及restart 监听，故障依旧
#下面查看alert log 日志
#下面的日志里表明无法创建m000进程，m000进程是SMON进程的奴隶进程

3、故障解决
#找到了引起故障的原因，就好处理了。下面是关于processes的描述
PROCESSES specifies the maximum number of operating system user processes that can simultaneously connect to Oracle.
Its value should allow for all background processes such as locks, job queue processes, and parallel execution processes.
The default values of the SESSIONS and TRANSACTIONS parameters are derived from this parameter.
Therefore, if you change the value of PROCESSES, you should evaluate whether to adjust the values of those derived parameters.
#修改实例的processes参数，如下，不支持memory的修改，因此需要加scope
sys> alter system set processes=1500;
alter system set processes=1500
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02095: specified initialization parameter cannot be modified
sys> alter system set processes=1500 scope=spfile;
System altered.
#下面是修改并重启后的结果，如果你使用的是pfile参数，则直接修改pfile中processes的值再重启即可。
sys> show parameter processes
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
processes integer 1500
sys> show parameter session;
