One of my production DB alert log shows
cannot allocate new log, sequence 5331


Earlier my redo log file size was 150M, and now i added 4 new redo log groups with 500M log member each onto a diffrent mount points and dropped the older ones.

while doing
alter system switch logfile; 
i still get the same message in the alert.

select group#,status,sum(bytes)/1024/1024 from v$log group by group#,status;

GROUP# STATUS SUM(BYTES)/1024/1024
---------- ---------------- --------------------
1 ACTIVE 500
3 INACTIVE 500
2 CURRENT 500
4 INACTIVE 500

piece of alert log is herewith.

Hi Michel,

I have already gone through the google search, all i got is to add more redo groups or increase the redo log file size.

I did that already, i have 4 log groups with 500 MB each.

Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

I strongly suspect that if you bounce the database, things will be OK for a while.

You went through the threads, so you know the reasons for this, don't you?
If so, list them and we will see where to start.

But where did you add log groups? You just created new ones and drop old ones.
