ORA-01555 snapshot too old while creating index

11gR2

I have a hash partitioned table with about 3 billion rows. I'm trying to create a local index.

This is archived data which is no longer used by the application. We want to create an index before we start deleting the older archived data so the process goes faster.

I'm not surprised there is data missing in the undo tablespace, but is there a work around for this issue?

ORA-01555 caused by SQL statement below (SQL ID: 3bnqhw22dvmtv, SCN: 0x0008.339eb56f):
CREATE INDEX A_RECORDS_ARC_idx ON A_RECORDS_ARC(a_rec_id) LOCAL
   STORE IN (a_rec_arc)
