Oracle Streams / RAC and sharing archive logs

We have been testing streams where the source is a 2 node HP-UX 10.2.0.3 
database and the target is a 10.2.0.3 Windows database (not RAC).

 

While testing, we have been getting errors where logminer cannot read a 
particular archive log.  The reason is Node2 is looking for an archive log on 
Node1.  

 

We have seen in the fine reference manuals this statement:

 

"The archive log threads from all instances must be available to any instance 
running a capture process. This is true for both local and downstream capture."

 

I am looking for clarification on this statement.  Currently our archive logs 
are specific to the node it is generated on.  Node 1 cannot see Node2 archive 
logs and Node2 cannot see node1 archive logs.  If this is true, how do you make 
them available to each other?   Manually FTP and double the space used?    
Create a log_archive_dest_x on both nodes and write the archive logs there as 
well?

 

Seems to me my space requirement for archive logs is going to go up.

 

Thanks in advance,
