Redo Log

This document outlines the steps to increase the redo log file size in an Oracle database with Data Guard. It includes checking current redo log configurations, adding new log groups, dropping old log groups, and managing standby redo logs. The process involves SQL commands for both primary and standby databases to ensure proper configuration and synchronization.

increase redo log file size on oracle

NOTED: increase the redo log file on database production with data guard, in case you don't have a data
guard you can skip standby step.

Step 1: check current redo log groups, size and locations

on primary database

SQL> select GROUP#,THREAD#,MEMBERS,BYTES,status from v$log;

Fathy Mohamed
SQL> select MEMBER,TYPE from v$logfile where type='ONLINE';

Step 2: add new redo log group with new size


SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 1 ('+DATA','+RECO') SIZE 3G;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 1 ('+DATA','+RECO') SIZE 3G;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 2 ('+DATA','+RECO') SIZE 3G;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 2 ('+DATA','+RECO') SIZE 3G;

Step 3:drop the old redo log group when status is inactive
SQL> select GROUP#,THREAD#,MEMBERS,BYTES,status from v$log;

Step 3-1: to switch between group until the old redo log group to be inactive
Fathy Mohamed
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
SQL> alter system checkpoint;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE group 1;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE group 2;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE group 3;

Step 4-1: recreate standby redo log group with new size as redo log group to solve the lag
issue
Step 4-2: stop the transport and apply from DG broker
on primary
dgmgrl /
DGMGRL> show configuration
DGMGRL> edit database ECMCON set state='transport-off';
Succeeded.
DGMGRL> edit database ecmcndr set state='apply-off';
Succeeded.

on primary and standby


Step 4-3: check current standby redo log groups,size and locations
SQL> select GROUP#,THREAD#,BYTES from v$standby_log;

Fathy Mohamed
SQL> select MEMBER,TYPE from v$logfile where type='STANDBY';

Step 5: drop standby redo log group


SQL> alter database drop standby logfile group 5;
SQL> alter database drop standby logfile group 6;
SQL> alter database drop standby logfile group 7;

on standby
Step 5-2: add new standby redo log group with new size
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 5 ('+DATA','+RECO') size 3G reuse;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 6 ('+DATA','+RECO') size 3G reuse;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 7 ('+DATA','+RECO') size 3G reuse;

on primary
Step 5-3: add new standby redo log group with new size
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 5 ('+DATA','+RECO') size 3G reuse;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 6 ('+DATA','+RECO') size 3G reuse;
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 7 ('+DATA','+RECO') size 3G reuse;

on standby
Step 6: recreate redo log group with new size
SQL> select GROUP#,THREAD#,MEMBERS,BYTES,status from v$log;
Fathy Mohamed
SQL> select MEMBER,TYPE from v$logfile where type='ONLINE';
SQL> show parameter STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=manual scope=both sid='*';

SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 1 ('+DATA','+RECO') SIZE 3G;


SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 1 ('+DATA','+RECO') SIZE 3G;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 2 ('+DATA','+RECO') SIZE 3G;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 2 ('+DATA','+RECO') SIZE 3G;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE group 1;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE group 2;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE group 3;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE group 4;
ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO scope=both sid='*';

on primary
Step 6-2: start the transport and apply from DG broker
dgmgrl /
DGMGRL> show configuration
DGMGRL> edit database ECMCON set state='transport-on';
Succeeded.
DGMGRL> edit database ecmcndr set state='apply-on';
Succeeded.
