    Something is not setup correctly with your archiving. Check to make sure you have enough space in log_archive_dest, make sure log_archive_start=true, and that you don't have disk I/O contention between your log_archive_dest and your redo logs.

    See http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/...p_id=1030505.6 for details.

    You may be on manual archiving.

    connect as sysdba and issue:-

    archive log list; - if on manual archiving issue :
    archive log start;



    Once you have eliminated all of the impossible,
    whatever remains however improbable,
    must be true.

    Make sure ur archive destination has sufficient space.
    Another option is add another member to existing redo log group....
    The checkpoint process is still in process of writing to redo log file and other redo log files are still being archived hence oracle is not finding any new redo log file to write.
