Archive log shows 95% full even its empty
Hi All,
My archive directory is mounted on the following file system.
/dev/vg00/lvol13 6291456 5947689 322348 95% /oracle/DEV/oraarch
even though this oraarch is empty its sowing 95% full and its getting filled for every 5min.
Regards
Rahul.
Hi,
Do the following:
cd /oracle/DEV/oraarch
Check what files are there:
ls -lart
cd ...
Check the disk usage with:
du -xg
Then check whether there are any open files:
fuser /oracle/DEV/oraarch
You will get the PID from here
now do a lsof -p <PID>
Check what it is doing, kill it if it is useless:
kill <PID>
or if the above doesn't work kill -9 <PID>
- Regards, Dibya

My battery died then it still shows radio off even its full charged , pls help!
My battery died then i charged it and still the phone is radio off and the battery is full, and just shows the home page and i cant go to the menu or do anything ??!!
cant even connect to the pc
thanks in advance,Then you've got a bricked dead device.
You can try again to try to wipe and reload the operating system if you want. You will need to use BBSAK or JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wipe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
And if any of that doesn't work, I'd return to say it's a moisture problem. I've seen it all too often. IF it is moisture and you continue to use the device, you're just damaging it further.

No effect. still 2.1GB of Mail, which, together with 2.7 GB of other backups etc, means my iCloud storage is full. -
New Battery only shows 97% full even when plugged in
Any ideas as to why? My original battery would always show it was 100% once it hit full charge plugged in.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
AaronYou probably need to calibrate it a few times to teach it where 100% is.

Brand New Ipod Shuffle says its full when its empty!!
Hiya Guys,
i hope you can help me.
On Saturday I bought 2 shuffles as presents for s friends twins. The first unit works fine that we loaded, but the second unit picked up everything on the computer as a natural sync motion. I tried to delete these tunes from the unit, which says I have done it, but the capacity indicator says the shuffle is full, and the music is still on it. I have tried toi restore the Factory settings but nothing happens, infact is just suspends the whole computer!!
So firstly, why when I have deleted everything, it still says its full?
How do I actually get the music off?
Or should I just take it back to the shop and exchange it for a new one?
Looking forward to all of your help

DID you do the following: Click on the Shuffle icon in Devices on the left side of the iTunes window, then select the tracks you want to delete in he Contents window and hit teh "delete" key on your keyboard? -
Incomplete Recovery Fails using Full hot backup & Archive logs !!
Hello DBA's !!
I am doing on Recovery scenario where I have taken One full hot backup of my Portal Database (EPR) and Restored it on New Test Server. Also I restored Archive logs from last full hot backup for next 6 days. Also I restored the latest Control file (binary) to their original locations. Now, I started the recovery scenario as follows....
1) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.2 compatible with restored version of oracle.
2) Configured tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, sqlnet.ora with hostname of Test server.
3) Restored all Hot backup files from Tape to Test Server.
4) Restored all archive logs from tape to Test server.
5) Restored Latest Binary Control file from Tape to Test Server.
6) Now, Started recovery using following command from SQL prompt.
SQL> recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
7) Open database after Recovery Completion using RESETLOGS option.
Now in Above scenario I completed steps upto 5) successfully. But when I execute the step 6) the recovery completes with Warning : Recovery completed but OPEN RESETLOGS may throw error " system file needs more recovery to be consistent " . Please find the following snapshot ....
ORA-00279: change 7001816252 generated at 01/13/2008 12:53:05 needed for thread

Let me know What should be the reason behind recovery failure !
Note : I tried to Open the database using Last Full Hot Backup only & not applying any archives. Then Database Opens successfully. It means my Database Installation & Configuration is OK !
Please Let me know why my Incomplete Recovery using Archive logs Goes Fail ?
Atul Patil.oh you made up a new thread so here again:
there is nothing wrong.
You restored your backup, archives etc.
you started your recovery and oracle applyed all archives but the archive
'/oracle/EPR/oraarch/1_9624_601570270.dbf'
does not exist because it represents your current online redo log file and that is not present.
the recovery process cancels by itself.
the solution is:
restart your recovery process with:
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile
and when oracle suggests you '/oracle/EPR/oraarch/1_9624_601570270.dbf'
type cancel!
now you should be able to open your database with open resetlogs. -
Why archive log is full so fast?
Hi All,
I have installed 10g RAC on RHEL4 using MSA1000 as a shared storage. and using ASM for database files and archive log files (external reduandancy) with RAID5. I have allocated 100GB for archive log files. database also created successfully with archive log enabled. After that i import 3 schemas in the RAC db each of 2GB size. The import was successful and when i try to connect the schema using Sqlplus it will "archive error". archive log space was full. i checked in asmcmd also, the 100GB fully occupied. My doubt is..How come the 100GB space is filled so fast?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Praveen.Hi Don,
No error, just code from an older release! Right ?

To be fair, I would agree that could be a nightmare to maintain a bunch of scripts through different release, but at least see the evidence, on that case, on the age of the scritp if it was tested a day.

Corruption of archived logs after redo resizing - URGENT
Hello all,
We have a RAC 9i 2-node DB, running on RHEL 3 machines.
We resized our redo logs from 100M to 1G to avoid "Can not allocate log, archival required" messages.
The operation was successful, but now we are facing problems with the ext3 filesystem holding the archived logs.
Each node has its own arc location, mounted only once.
When we run "ls" in the arc destination, we get "ls: Input/output error" messages.
RMAN complains also about corrupted arcvhived logs.
The day before Yesterday we reformatted one arc destination, and today the messages appeared in the other one.
Do you have any suggestion?
JonathanDid the problem occur right after increasing the log size? Then the first thing to do would be to decrease the log size, but add more log groups to fix the "Can not allocate..." problem.
If "ls" doesn't work, your file system is stuffed.Reformat the archive dest and do simple file copies to verify the integrity, before putting the archive logs back on.
That's just for starters... -
Hi,
Our database server's archive log destination is full,but after running

it's taking archive log backup,but not deleting archivelogs.
Could you suggest me what is the reason.RMAN> backup archivelog all delete input;

Full Backups, Level 0 Backups, and Archived Logs
We have an active Oracle server and a standby Oracle server. We keep the standby database up to date with a cron script. The script tells the active database to do 'alter system switch logfile;'. We then rsync the archived logs to our standby server and have rman apply them.
This works everyday except Monday (of course!) and it only recently started failing on Mondays. The only change was that our Sunday backups used to be 'Full' backups but are now 'level 0' backups. Ever since that change, the first attempt to apply the archived logs to the standby server after the level 0 is taken on the active server gives us something like this:
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log
'/opt/oracle/flash_recovery_area/ORCL/archivelog/2012_04_16/o1_mf_1_60519_%u_.arc'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Of course, the file is not there and doesn't exist on the active server either. And of course, the nightly level1 backups fo not give us problems applying archived logs to the standby database the rest of the week.
The only way I know to recover from this is to apply the level 0 backup or take a new level 0 and apply it. After that, all subsequent archive logs just work. Any idea why changing from Full to Level 0 would break this? The Oracle docs insist that a Level 0 is identical to a Full except that level 1s can reference them as parents. This simply cannot be true based on what I'm seeing! I really want to keep the level 0 backups in play if possible. Level 1 cumulatives wont be useful without them.Here are the RMAN settings:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/opt/oracle/102/dbs/snapcf_ORCL.f'; # default
I'm not sure how changing ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES would help. Can you give me a little more information about how that setting comes into play in this situation?
I actually don't want an archive deletion policy here. We have this done in script three days after the needed archive logs have been applied. Is it possible that the we're deleting archivelogs too soon? Would we ever need to reach back in time to previously applied archive logs to apply new ones?
The %u does resolve, but this message isn't showing it. Here is that same log entry plus a few previous entries that show it does resolve.

Full backup and backup archive logs
Hello,
today in the early morning i did backup of my db with :
RMAN> backup as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE format '/backup/%d_t%t_s%s_p%p';This command created two files :
[oracle@p1 backup]$ ls -l
total 1132680
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 1155940352 Sep 14 00:44 TEST_t697508918_s5_p1
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 2785280 Sep 14 00:44 TEST_t697509873_s6_p1Did i backed up archive logs also with this command ?
If I did not, do i have to i n order to have everything to do complete resterer and recovery ?
Is now to late to backup them?Can you confirm that this backup will be placed in the FRA, it will backup all datafile, control files, spfile and control files all arhchivle logs and when backup finshes then will delete all archive logs ?+
after running that command yo can confirm it by yourself at RMAN prompt.

Would then this be incremental level 0 backup ?
yes by default i think so.
so with this i must be able to flasback my database at least 3 day in the past if i understood correctly.
But i am little puzled about purging those flasback data ...
Can you point me please to some link or tell how can i purge logs that are not need for that flashback period... ?
please read this link

Archive Log vs Full Backup Concept
Hi,
I just need some clarification on how backups and archive logs work. Lets say starting at 1PM I have archive logs 1,2,3,4,5 and then I perform a full backup at 6PM.
Then I resume generating archive logs at 6PM to get logs 6,7,8,9,10. I then stop at 11PM.
If my understanding is correct, the archive logs should allow me to restore oracle to a point in time anywhere between 1PM and 11PM. But if I only have the full backup then I can only restore to a single point, which is 6PM. Is my understanding correct?
Do the archive logs only get applied to the datafiles when the backup occurs or only when a restore occurs? It doesn't seem like the archive logs get applied on the fly.
Thanks in advance.thelok wrote:
Thanks for the great explanation! So I can do a point in time restore from any time since the datafiles have last been written (or from when I have the last set of backed up datafiles plus the archive logs). From what you are saying, I can force the datafiles to be written from the redo logs (by doing a checkpoint with "alter set archive log current" or "backup database plus archivelog"), and then I can delete all the archive logs that have a SCN less than the checkpoint SCN on the datafiles. Is this true? This would be for the purposes of preserving disk space.Hi,
See this example. I hope this explain your doubt.

Staging server archive log full
Hi ,
i have encountered my staging server having archive log full which i do not understand.
i hope anyone can help clarify my doubts
Production server : oracle 10G , RedHat
Staging Server : oracle 10G , runnings on windows
source server : DB2
the staging server is simply a link between the Production server & db2
i am running my procedures on the production server which is getting db2's data via the staging server thru dblink
i have encountered the error : ORA-00257 : archiver error : connect internal only, until freed when i ran some recovery which involved some 20M to 40M records being loaded at the same time
what i do not understand is why would the Oracle running on windows have its archive log full when it's just a link betw the production and db2
pls advise
tks & rgdsJust go to the archivl log destination and delete some/all of the archive logs then I think the problem will be resolved.
OR
connect to RMAN then run
run {
allocate channel ch1 device type disk;
backup format '/u04/rman_backup/RMAN_ARCH_<%s:%t:%p>.bkp' archivelog all delete input;
It will take the backup of your all archivelog and then delete the archive logs from your current archive log directory.
