We have 4 Redo log groups with 200M each. We have a requirement that the instance recovery must be done within 60 secs. So, we are trying to use the fast_Start_io_target param. The issue here is, we don't see any checkpoints being done (as seen in the alert logs as well as v$sysstat). THe only checkpoints that we see are the ones that happen during a log switch or if you issue "alter system checkpoint". Any ideas on why the checkpoints are not being performed.

A couple of questions:<BR>
<BR>
1. You have what seem to me to be many very large log groups. What reasons = make this necessary?<BR>
<BR>
2. Have you considered setting LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL to a much lower valu= e that would compute to be less than the size of your redo logs so that chec= kpoints would be forced in the middle of your redo logs as well as at log sw= itches? Forcing checkpoints within your log files reduces the time needed fo= r instance recovery.<BR>
<BR>
3. What about setting LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT to a lower value for the same = reasoning?<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>4. What have you found when setting the FAST_START_IO_TARGET p=
arameter to a lower value?<BR>
