Archive logs for ASM databases on RAC

MithzzFeb 28 2011 — edited Mar 1 2011

Hi,

I have a query regarding archive logs on ASM database which is on a RAC. I have created a database orcl which has instance orcl1 on node1 and orcl2 on node2. For backing up of this database , i have enabled archivelog for the database.

After doing some transactions and backups, i noticed that there are two sets of archive logs created on each nodes in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs folder. In node1 it starts with arch1_* and in node2 it is arch2_*.

IWhy is it that it creates archive logs on the local disks wherein ideally it should create in the asm disks which is shared across the nodes. My backup application fails with archive log not found error , as it looks for archive log in the other node.

Any inputs on this will be helpful.

Amith
