Thanks for reply Peter. But I dont quite follow. I have 5 , 10MB redo logs on the primary. I have 5, 10MB redo logs on the physical-standby as part of the offline transfer. I have 5, 10MB STANDBY redo logs on the physical-standby and ALL of them (SRLs) still have the status as UNASSIGNED..... Does Carel's post mean I actually need 6 SRLs on the standby ??? I wasnt able locate Carels' post when I had initially searched the freelist archive. Will do so again. In case u have the URL, can u post it pls..

Hi I have found your answer ffrom a past post of Carel " Oracle documents that one needs at least the # of redo log groups on the primary + 1 on the standby, when standby redologs are used. I never saw a logswitch happen to another standby redologfile than the one previously used, so your observation is quite normal" it was in the list archive at freelist.org It would seem that you have little to be concerned about Cheers *Peter McLarty* Technical Consultant Service Delivery ------------------------------ *From:* oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *On Behalf Of *Sanjay Madan *Sent:* Thursday, November 23, 2006 5:03 PM *To:* oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *Subject:* Dataguard - SRL unassigned on Standby Hi all, Ora9205 AIX 5.3 We have set up DataGuard in the Max Performance mode. (SERVICE=DG_STY LGWR ASYNC=20480 OPTIONAL REOPEN=30 NOAFFIRM NET_TIMEOUT=60) The standby is about 2000 Kms away and connectivity is via a 4MBps line. Connectivity is NOT good. The ORLs are being ported properly to the standby and the managed recovery is also taking place. However, LGWR is reporting connection errors and we are getting these comments in the alert_PRIMARY.log: Thu Nov 23 11:00:49 2006 LGWR: Completed archiving log 5 thread 1 sequence 6958 LGWR received timedout error from KSR No action necessary. ARCH will attempt to transmit log file LGWR: Error 2 closing archivelog file 'DG_STY' Thu Nov 23 11:01:48 2006 Errors in file /ora/admin/primary/bdump/aaa_lgwr_2130034.trc: ORA-00002: Message 2 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA LGWR: Error 2 disconnecting from destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 standby host 'DG_STY' The SECONDARY alert log does not report any errors BUT the Standby Redo Logs created there are still unassigned. They are NOT being used at all. ( The number and size of the SRLs match the ORL of the primary). Have tried a metalinked and googled, but havnt been able to locate anything significant. Any pointers ?? Thanks Sanjay
