I would strongly advise against redo logs on RAID-0 with oracle duplexing. Different operating systems respond more or less gracefully to the vanishing of a storage device (which is the normal behavior of a failed disk on a RAID-0 set on a HW array). There's too many variables possible to list

That is a very reasonable default. Why would you want to have the hassle of file locking and inter-node coordination for such a trivial thing like archiving redo files? In a RAC system, if one instance is unable to archive its logs, the other one will do that instead. There should be a table
