Establishing a Mandatory Archive Destination
When cloning a database using Database FlashSnap (see “Cloning a Database (dbed_vmclonedb)”
on page 244 for details), the Oracle database must have at least one mandatory archive destination,
otherwise dbed_vmchecksnap results in this error message:
SFORA dbed_vmchecksnap ERROR V-81-5677 Could not find a mandatory,
primary and valid archive destination for database PROD.
Please review the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters and check
v$archive_dest.
This example shows how to establish a mandatory archive destination using SQL*Plus:
alter system set log_archive_dest_1 =
'LOCATION=/ora_mnt/oracle/oradata/PROD/archivelogs MANDATORY
[REOPEN]’ [scope=both];
For more information about Oracle parameters for archiving redo logs, see your Oracle
documentation.
