WARNING: archive log not deleted as it is still needed (broken standby)

edited Jan 27, 2015 10:03AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

- I have  a RAC (two nodes) and a standby

- hardware issues cause the standby db to be down (non-functional)

- after a while I disable both data guard manager (dg_broker_start=false) and defer for the dest_2_status.

Oracle 10g minor version 4

RMAN is giving this messages.

WARNING: archive log not deleted as it is still needed

I can sense this is because there is unapplied archive log ever since the standby is down.

so here is some questions:

1.  it seems that I must also have to unset the log_archive_dest_n-Parameter pointing to the remote Standby Database to make the Primary Database considering it as completely unavailable, so that Primary will no longer preserve the archive log. Am I right?
