Re: More than one archivelog disk

Hi,

Check note: *45042.1

You may be able to achieve this by creating several archive destinations or having one large archive destination. For example, lets assume you have several archive destinations. Archiver is writing to archive DEST 1. When DEST 1 fills up to a certain threshold, say 80% (enough room for two more archive files), you can switch the archive destination by issuing the command, 'alter system archive log to 'DEST2'. Archiver will then archive the NEXT log in the new destination.

Tape backups can occur in DEST1 while archiver is writing to DEST2. This reduces IO contention for those disks. Furthermore, depending on the size of the destination, you can optimally keep a large number of archives on disk. Before switching back to DEST1, we can purge the archives in DEST 1 that has been successfully backed up to tape.

HTH,
Goran
