Dennis, The redo log members as well as the controlfiles, are seperated as best at the environment allows, on different stripe sets. In general it is relatively robust using ADVfs & LSM mirroring. Redo log size is OK in my view, currently ~40 switches daily with 2 or 3 switches at 3-4 minutes intervals. It appears that I must have added new groups on more than one occasion with the active group at different points. Should be straighted out this weekend.

Then if a terrorist sprays your computer room with automatic gunfire (or a drive crashes), maybe one of the devices will be spared. Remember that Oracle can easily rebuild data files. Redo logs and control files are the precious commodity. While you are at it, make sure you have two control files on separate devices. I am paranoid so I always configure three control files. So you need to relocate the second member of each redo log group so both aren't on the same device. Make sure they are all the same size. Evaluate whether you need to make them larger while you are at it. How often does log file switch occur during peak load? Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
