Pete, I was expecting to see only two redo logfiles under a instance, but it is showing all four files. In my case - Instance#1 has 2 redo files - redo_1_01.log & redo_1_02.log Instance#2 has 2 redo files - redo_2_01.log & redo_2_02.log system@t3ky1>select a.inst_id, a.group#, b.thread#, a.member 2 from gv$logfile a, gv$log b 3 where a.group#=b.group# 4 and a.inst_id=b.inst_id 5 and a.inst_id=( select instance_number from v$instance); INST_ID Group# THREAD# Member ---------- ------ ---------- ---------------------------------------- 1 1 1 /usr5/apl/ORACLE10R2/t3ky/redo_1_01.log 1 2 1 /usr5/apl/ORACLE10R2/t3ky/redo_1_02.log 1 3 2 /usr5/apl/ORACLE10R2/t3ky/redo_2_01.log 1 4 2 /usr5/apl/ORACLE10R2/t3ky/redo_2_02.log 4 rows selected.

Either I'm missing something entirely or you've answered your own question. INST_ID is the instance ID for the instance the logfiles are used on. If you want the instance name instead, you can get that from v$instance. Or am I really missing something entirely?
