We can delete only files of inactive group

* How to switch group we will see later

Let's delete files of INACTIVE group

1) We need to re-create group 1 and files

Delete files of groups 1

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 1;

Swithers for standby server, if you can't delate groups

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=MANUAL;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO;

SQL> HOST rm /u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo01.log

Add new group, set files and their size

SQL> alter database add logfile group 1 ('/u02/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo01.log' , '/u03/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo01.log') size 300M;

2) Then re-create group 2 and files

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 2;
SQL> HOST rm /u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo02.log

SQL> alter database add logfile group 2 ('/u02/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo02.log' , '/u03/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo02.log') size 300M;

3) Re-create Нужно пересоздать группу 3 и файлы данной группы

If group is active, we should switch it

* Use this commands to switch redo logfile group

SQL> alter system checkpoint;
SQL> alter system switch logfile; 

Delete group 3

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 3;
SQL> HOST rm /u01/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo03.log 

SQL> alter database add logfile group 3 ('/u02/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo03.log' , '/u03/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo03.log') size 300M; 

4) Check result 

SQL>
select a.group#, member, a.status, bytes/1024/1024 as "MB"
from v$log a, v$logfile b
where a.group# = b.group#
order by 1,2; 

1 /u02/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo01.log INACTIVE 300
1 /u03/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo01.log INACTIVE 300

2 /u02/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo02.log CURRENT 300
2 /u03/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo02.log CURRENT 300

3 /u02/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo03.log UNUSED 300
3 /u03/oracle/oradata/orcl/redo/redo03.log UNUSED 300

1) On primary defer log shipping (dynamic change)

SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = defer scope = memory; 

2) On standby database cancel managed recovery

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

3) Drop standby logs on standby database

SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 4;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 5;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 6;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 7; 

4) Recreate the new Standby logs, ASM

SQL> alter database add standby logfile THREAD 1 group 4 ('+DATA(ONLINELOG)','+FRA(ONLINELOG)') SIZE 1000M;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile THREAD 1 group 5 ('+DATA(ONLINELOG)','+FRA(ONLINELOG)') SIZE 1000M;

SQL> alter database add standby logfile THREAD 1 group 7 ('+DATA(ONLINELOG)','+FRA(ONLINELOG)') SIZE 1000M; 

5) Enable log shipping on the Primary database (memory - temporary)

SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = enable scope = memory;

6) Enable managed recovery on standby database

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;

7) Check the the standby logs are being used

SQL>

- group 1 should not be current and not be an active
- group 1 should be multiplexed
