Are you saying that RMAN references the softlink? I wonder what you're
actually backing up.

Subject: dataguard, and rman backup of archive logs
Hello,
I have a rac cluster, with dataguard replicating
to a logical standby, as well as a physical standby.
All environments are using ASM.
I use RMAN to back up the archive logs on the LSB.
The LSB is a set up to delete the archive logs once they are
backed up. When I check the alert log, it shows the archive logs
being deleted. When I check the archive log location on ASM,
the archive logs still remains.
They way ASM is set up is has a soft link to the actual archive
log files in the archive log directory. Here is an example.
srptpre_dcea562_1_919_702560930.arc =>
+REM_ARCH/srptpre/ARCHIVELOG/2010_02_02/thread_1_seq_919.670.709896975
So, when Oracle deletes the archive log, it just removes the link
name.
In this case, that would be "srptpre_dcea562_1_919_702560930.arc".
The actual archive log file,
"+REM_ARCH/srptpre/ARCHIVELOG/2010_02_02/thread_1_seq_919.670.709896975"
still remains. It does not get deleted.
Has anyone seen this sort of behavior ? Is there a way to have the archive
log deleted also ?
Sun solaris 10, oracle 10.2.0.4.
thanks
