Hi All,

OS: OEL 5.4

DB: 11gR2 RAC 3 nodes

I have installed RAC to practice. I have created ASM diskgroup FRA to store backups and archive logs. I turned on archive yesterday and as I didn't allocate much space, I am getting below error for any user operations.

ERROR:

ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed.

now when I try to delete it from RMAN I get error. What is the best way to delete archive logs and get system up and running.

RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
