Note placeholder for relocating FRA before backing up to Oracle Cloud for client testing
As our database grows and grows, here especially in respect of backupsize and daily generated archive-logs, we may sometime get to a point when we have to relocate our FRA to another device with more free space. This could also be the case in a situation when we have run out of FRA-space because of an unexpected sudden massive increase of archived redologs. I just had the latter when some developers had run an upgrade of their application.
Luckily it is no big fuss to change the FRAs destination directory. It’s just a matter of changing the location with
alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='/usr4/oracle/fast_recovery_area' scope=both;
and increasing the FRAs size with
alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size=100g scope=both;
To test the new settings we can initiate a redolog-archiving:
alter system switch logfile; alter system checkpoint;
After this we should see a new subdirectory in the new FRA-Location with our DB’s SID as name…
