RE: arch slow and standby.

Just a warning - when you set the _LOG_ARCHIVE_CALLOUT parameter (or any other parameters), make sure you don't copy and paste from the metalink web page. We had this problem and it took months to figure it out and Oracle Support wasn't even able to figure it out. We were all baffled as to why the parameter wasn't working as advertised. We eventually stumbled on to the problem when we noticed the following errors being reported in arcn trace files in the bdump directory whenever we restarted the instance:  

Invocation of 'M-^RLOCAL_FIRST=TRUEM-^R' failed: 1335 ORA-01335: feature not yet implemented  

The single quotes copied and pasted from HTML were stored as the "M-^R" characters you see above. The other weird thing is that if you read the arcn trace file with vi or view, it didn't show those characters - they were only visible if you opened the trace file with more.

Regards,
Brandon

To fix this situation, look at hidden parameter _log_archive_callout and set it to 'LOCAL_FIRST=TRUE'. If you make a search on metalink, you'll find an article describing exactly mentioned above behavior and recommending the mention parameter setup.
