The message appears when Oracle can't write out the archived redo logs. This may be due to the disk being busy or being full. If the DB continued running, i.e., generating archived redo logs, the problem was a temporary one that cleared up. Check the free space in that partition. You may also want to check the i/o on that disk for periods when this happens. Possibly, also, it may be an emerging disk problem, though I wouldn't worry about it too much if it doesn't repeat.
