Sun Solaris 5.8 Oracle Release 8.1.7.2.0 List: We have a small but critical database that gets bursts of activity. If left to their own devices, the 50meg redo logs sometimes switch a few per hour; sometimes do not switch for several hours.
We're manually populating a standby database, so we're forcing a switch (alter system archive log current) with a cron job every 30 minutes. Every time a manual log switch occurs, we see this message in the alert log: ARC0: Failed to archive log# 2 seq# 854 However, the switch always completes a few tenths of a second later. Would this be considered normal activity? Seems odd to see a message like this in the alert, but since we see a successful switch so quickly, I'm thinking maybe it's ok. Thanks for any advice.
