Is it possible to re-archive an already archived but still online redo log file?

the 8.1.6 sql*plus manual says it is, but I can't get the syntax down right apparently.

SQL>  archive log 227

returns a ORA-16013 (does not need archiving) error and

SQL> archive log 227 to '/tmp'
returns
SP2-0718  illegal arhicve log option

Anybody done this?
