We use v$session for indetifying target session to kill in non-rac database.Here in Oracle RAC instance we should need to check and identify session using gv$session. Because only gv$session contains rac instance identifier column. After identifying target session from gv$session we need command "alter system kill session" with session identifier (sid), serial number (serial#) and instance number of Oracle RAC (instance_no).
