In Oracle 10g theLOG_ARCHIVE_STARTparameter andARCHIVE LOG STARTcommand have been deprecated,so you will use the following code.

ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest_1='location=/u01/oradata/MYSID/archive/' SCOPE=spfile;
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_format='arch_%t_%s_%r.arc' SCOPE=spfile;

SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_start=TRUE SCOPE=spfile;
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest_1='location=/u01/oradata/MYDB/archive/' SCOPE=spfile;
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_format='arch_%t_%s.arc' SCOPE=spfile;

Since we need to mount the database in exclusive mode we must also alter the following parameter.

ALTER SYSTEM SET cluster_database=FALSE SCOPE=spfile;

From the command line we can stop the entire clustered database using the following.

$ srvctl stop database -d MYDB

With the cluster down we can connect to a single node and issue the following commands.

STARTUP MOUNT;
ARCHIVE LOG START;
ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
ALTER SYSTEM SET cluster_database=TRUE SCOPE=spfile;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;

Notice that theCLUSTER_DATABASEparameter has been reset to it's original value. Since the datafiles and spfile are shared between all instances this operation only has to be done from a single node.

From the command line we can now start the clustered database again using the following.

$ srvctl start database -d MYDB

The current settings place all archive logs in the same directory. This is acceptable since the thread (%t) is part of the archive format preventing any name conflicts between instances. If node-specific locations are required theLOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1parameter can be repeated for each instance with the relevant SID prefix.

If theLOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_nparameters are not set,the archived redo logs will be placed in the FRA. If you want to specify their location and the file name format manually,you can do it as follows.

ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest_1='location=/u01/oradata/MYDB/archive/' SCOPE=spfile;
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_format='arch_%t_%s_%r.arc' SCOPE=spfile;

STARTUP MOUNT; ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG; ALTER SYSTEM SET cluster_database=TRUE SCOPE=spfile; SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;

From the command line we can stop the entire clustered database and start it in mount mode using the following.

$ srvctl stop database -d MYDB
$ srvctl start database -d MYDB -o mount

With the database mounted issue the following commands.
