Archive Log Destination Likely to Fill Up before archivelogs can be backed up on Production System

Problem Description
---------------------------------------------------
A file system holding the archive logs is rapidly approaching being 100% full and is likely to fill up before archive logs can be backed up:
We are using Oracle 10GR2 on HP-UX version 11.23

I have a backup copy of a portion of the archive logs.  I have a Level 0 Incremental backup available on disk. 

The RMAN retention policy is currently set to  Redundancy 2.

I have 2 questions: 

1) Can I temporarily assign a value to log_archive_dest_2 to a value as an alternate location in case the primary file system fills up specified by log_archive_dest_1 parameter value by alter system set log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION=/new file system'  scope=memory?

Howdy, Stranger!
