Archived Redologs Destination Doubt.

[pravin]

The objective is to have arch destination set in two different servers and to have redo archived logs in 2 different servers for security.

ORACLE 8.1.7 - LINUX

Arch destination 1 - It will store the archived redo logs in the same server.
IP address for example - 200.124.123.112 /u01/home/oracle/arch

Arch destination 2 - i want to set the destination address in a different server box having different IP.
200.124.123.4 ex / usr/oracle/arch


First question
- is this possible ?
- if yes - then see i will be specifying a destination path
ex /usr/oracle/arch - how the unix server recognizes the path without specifying the IP address .

YES possible by using tnsnames.ora file and defining log_archive_dest_state_2 = enable
log_archive_dest_2 = 'service=tnsnameEntry reopen=120'

But you must have a Standby database setup for this configuration.

Set your log_archive_Dest_2 to an NFS mounted filesystem.
