Archive ERROR ????

From: <bill_at_asplundh.com>

Message-ID: <5gorn3$omk@tofu.alt.net>#1/1

I am receiving the following error when I try to start my database with archive logging. The error occurs when I enter a path in the
"log_archive_dest" variable in my init.ora. When I rem out
"log_archive_dest" and let Oracle write its archive logs to the
default directory everything works fine.

Oracle 7.1.6
AIX 4.2

• initDEMO.ora ******** log_archive_dest = /oracle/archlog
  • ERROR ********* SVRMGR> connect internal Connected to an idle instance. SVRMGR> startup ORA-00256: error occurred in translating archive text string '/oracle/archlog' ORA-07287: soagdi: unsupported device for log archiving. SVRMGR>

Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!!!
